About Myotherapy First

The Assessment, Diagnosis & Treatment of Muscle Pain, Nerve Pain & Joint Pain

Myotherapy First was founded by Andrea Williams who has practiced Myotherapy for 7 years following a 10 year career as a Registered Nurse. Andrea is a lecturer, business owner and mother, dedicated to providing a holistic approach to client care and is actively involved in the ongoing development of the Myotherapy profession.

Our aim at Myotherapy First is to provide successful treatment plans for individuals of all ages and gender, suffering a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Our focus is primarily on identifying, treating and correcting these Common Conditions, restoring our client’s physical independence and quality of life.

Patients often visit Myotherapists after having received treatment from various other disciplines. Myotherapy First is about encouraging clients to seek Myotherapy treatment first and experience the benefits. If you are experiencing muscle pain and/or dysfunction, our Myotherapists will assess the source of your pain and assist with pain correction and prevention.

Myotherapy First is dedicated to providing ongoing individual assessment and treatment of clients to achieve pain free, fully functioning lifestyles. Every treatment is unique and focuses on the individual. There are no generic treatment standards. We appreciate that each client requires an individual, accurate and concise course of treatment. We focus on the ongoing care and accomplishment of goals set by both the client and therapist.

There are numerous Treatment Methods available to our practitioners in order to achieve these goals. Often if one method is unsuccessful, another modality may be employed. The ability to offer diversity is unique to Myotherapists and has shown enormous success with identifying the ideal way to treat individual clients.

We also provide our clients with Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercise programs to minimize their need for practitioner intervention, thus reinforcing autonomy and control of one’s own health.

Myotherapy First also specializes in Pre and Post Natal Massage and Myotherapy. Andrea Williams teaches the only tertiary level Pre and Post Natal Myotherapy course in Australia. Andrea has been researching, treating and teaching all facets of Pre and Post Natal care since the birth of her own children.

We are also proud to provide Remedial & Relaxation Massage services to ensure our clients maintain their good health. Minimizing stress and anxiety can help with managing many musculoskeletal abnormalities. Our relaxation massages focus on total relaxation with the use of music and essential oils.
