Qualified Myotherapist

Melanie Chesterman

BHSc(ClinMyo)

I was born and raised in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, in 2011 I graduated with my Bachelor of Health Science – Clinical Myotherapy. I worked in a couple of private clinics before having my kids and have been back working in the industry for 3 years. I treat clients from teenagehood through to those in their golden years, from all walks of life, careers and hobbies.

I do have a special interest in pregnancy and post-natal care, and as both a practitioner and a mum, I understand the physical demands that pregnancy, birth, and parenting place on the body. I’m passionate about supporting women through these stages with safe, effective treatment that helps reduce pain, restore movement, and promote recovery.

My goal is to not only provide hands-on treatment, but to empower you with knowledge and practical tools so you can feel confident and supported in your body—both during and beyond your time in the clinic.

Treatment Approach

benefits & outcomes

Comprehensive Assessment

At the begining of an initial consultation I take the time to get to know you, understand your medical history, hear about the condition you are looking for help with and then I conduct any relevant range of motion or clinical testing.

Follow-up sessions alway begin with a chat to discuss any changes to your condition, what you feel worked from the previous session and what you feel didn’t, and how you went with any stretches or exercises recommended in the previous session.

Deep Tissue Massage

I use deep tissue massage to target areas of muscle pain and tension. The firm pressure and slow strokes can reach the deeper muscle fibres and fascia where chronic tension and trigger points (knots) can cause pain, stiffness and restricted movement.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points are localised areas of tension in a muscle sometimes referred to as a knot. Triggerpoint therapy is the application of a variety of techniques used to release the muscle fibers that are ‘knotted’.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling involves the insertion of fine filliment, setrile needles into trigger points. Dry needling is used to relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow and restore proper function.

Joint Mobilisation

Joint mobilisation is a techniques where the therapist moves a stiff or restricted joint through it’s normal range of motion by applying gentle controlled pressure, either in an ossillating motion or as a sustained force. This technique helps the surrounding soft tissue to reduce it’s tension on the joint, increases range of motion and reduces pain.

Corrective Exercises

Corrective Exercise prescription helps yopu to maintain and increase the results that you get from a hands-on myotherapy session. All bodies carry areas of weakness and tension that the body is trying to bring into balance, sometimes by making small compromises to achieve overall function. unfortunatly sometimes these compromises lead to pain over time. Corrective exercises are aimes at balancing out the weaknesses and tight areas with either strengthening or stretching.
