What is Myotherapy?
Musculoskeletal therapy is one of the most advanced forms of pain and injury management available. It goes significantly beyond standard physiotherapy or chiropractic care — combining in-depth assessment of muscles, joints, nerves, and the brain to identify not just where your pain is, but exactly why it's there.
At Recuperate Health, musculoskeletal therapy is the foundation of everything we do. It draws on both conventional clinical science and modern functional medicine — using a wide range of evidence-based techniques to resolve pain and restore movement as efficiently as possible.
Our philosophy: We don't chase symptoms. We find the underlying cause — whether that's a nerve entrapment, a joint restriction, a movement dysfunction, or a sensitised nervous system — and treat that. This is why our patients get results that last.
What conditions do we treat?
Musculoskeletal therapy at Recuperate Health is effective for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions affecting the body and nervous system:
Chronic back pain
Neck pain & stiffness
Shoulder injuries
Sciatica & nerve pain
Knee pain
Hip pain
Headaches & migraines
Jaw pain (TMJ)
Tendon injuries
Bulging discs
Whiplash
Frozen shoulder
Sports injuries
Post-surgical recovery
Fibromyalgia
Nerve entrapment
Musculoskeletal pain
Movement dysfunction
Overuse injuries
Plantar fasciitis
Tried everything else? We specialise in complex and chronic cases that haven't responded to standard treatment. If your pain keeps coming back, there's usually a reason — and we'll find it.
Our treatment techniques
We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every treatment plan is built from the techniques best suited to your specific condition, history, and goals.
Nerve manipulation
Targeted assessment and mobilisation of peripheral nerves — highly effective for nerve pain, entrapments, and radiculopathy
Joint manipulation
Precise, controlled mobilisation of restricted joints to restore range of motion and reduce pain
Electro dry needling
Advanced needling combined with electrical stimulation — targeting trigger points and nerve pathways for deep, lasting pain relief
Shockwave therapy
The gold standard for tendon repair — acoustic waves that stimulate healing in chronic, hard-to-treat tissue
Vagus nerve stimulation
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve — rebalancing the nervous system and reducing systemic inflammation
Photobiomodulation (LLLT)
Red and near-infrared laser therapy targeting cellular healing — accelerating tissue repair and reducing pain at the source
Myofascial cupping
Decompression of fascial layers to improve circulation, reduce adhesions, and restore tissue mobility
Rehabilitation
Personalised movement and strengthening programs to restore function and prevent recurrence
Our approach — why it works
Most pain clinics treat where it hurts. We treat why it hurts — and that distinction makes all the difference for patients with persistent or recurring pain.
At your first appointment, we conduct a thorough assessment that includes movement analysis, neurological testing, joint and soft tissue evaluation, and a full history of your condition. We're looking for the primary driver of your pain — the root cause that other treatments may have missed.
Treatment then combines the most appropriate techniques from our toolkit, often in a single session. For example, a patient with chronic sciatica might receive nerve manipulation, electro dry needling, and photobiomodulation in one appointment — addressing the nerve, the surrounding tissue, and the cellular environment simultaneously.
We won't lock you into a long treatment plan. We give you an honest timeline at your first appointment. Many of our patients see significant improvement in 2–4 sessions — and we'll tell you clearly if your condition requires more.
What our patients say
★★★★★
Sam fixed my nerve pain and bulging disc — I was in pain for years. Finally free from it. 100% recommended.
★★★★★
Excellent — shoulder and bicep pain reduced immensely. Didn't try to lock me into 20 visits. Back swimming at squad just 2 days later!
★★★★★
From the moment I walked in, Sam made me feel comfortable. The space he has created is welcoming and he is a world of knowledge. I walked out pain free and lighter.
★★★★★
Sam is always kind, attentive, and genuinely present — you never feel rushed or unheard.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Myotherapy is an advanced, evidence-based discipline that assesses and treats pain and dysfunction affecting muscles, joints, nerves, and the brain. It goes beyond treating symptoms to identify and eliminate the root cause of your pain.
-
Musculoskeletal therapy at Recuperate Health integrates a broader toolkit — nerve manipulation, joint manipulation, dry needling, electrotherapy, shockwave, vagus nerve stimulation, and photobiomodulation — into a single coordinated plan. We also spend significantly more time on assessment than most standard clinical appointments.
-
Yes — chronic pain is one of our specialties. We understand that persistent pain involves changes to the nervous system, not just tissue damage. Our approach addresses both the physical source and the neurological component of long-standing pain.
-
Many acute conditions improve significantly in 2–4 sessions. Chronic or complex conditions typically require 6–10 sessions. We give you a clear, honest plan at your first appointment and we won't lock you into unnecessary visits.
-
Yes. We treat acute injuries (muscle tears, ligament sprains, tendon damage), overuse injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our goal is to get you back to full performance as quickly as possible — without unnecessary downtime.
