Adelaide Hills Myotherapy
Oliver Miles is a Myotherapist and Movement Coach who treats chronic and acute pain in soft tissues and joints. Oliver has over 20 years experience working in the Remedial Massage and Myotherapy Industry and aims to locate and treat the root cause of your pain.
Modern Science no longer looks at muscles as individual parts but instead views them as connected through various Fascial Chains that give us structure and alignment. When there is a tightness/injury in the chain, this will pull on many other muscles/bones. This creates misalignment in our body and referred pain in areas that may not even be the original source of the problem.
Injury, surgery, poor posture and/or overuse can cause instability in the way a joint functions and inhibit how we move. Dry Needling is a technique that is able to access pain at a deeper core level than Remedial Massage creating instant change in joint function and muscle tension.
For those that are not ready for Dry Needling Oliver offers a range of other modalities in combination to effectively address your pain and create change/balance within the fascia - Remedial Massage, Myofascial and Positional Release, Cupping, Acupressure, Stretching/Mobilising and Kinesiology Taping.
A structural/postural assessment, functional testing and medical history is taken on the first appointment to create a targeted plan to suit the individuals needs. The structural assessment helps me determine the root of the problem; this assessment is usually done in shorts/underwear/bra in a standing position for both static and dynamic body readings to determine misalignments and fascial strains. Structural body work differs from a massage in that as the client you will be more engaged with the treatment to improve self awareness. As the therapist I will be continually re-evaluating your posture to guide the treatment through the correct course.
I aim for treatments that hold long-term - whilst symptomatic and localised pain will be addressed, this is not necessarily where the treatment focus will be for a holistic outcome. Corrective exercises and Personal Movement Therapy sessions can also be included as part of the treatment package to empower you on your healing journey.
