Why Manual Therapy

for Performers?

Unlock your potential and find your best performance.

Caring for your greatest asset

Manual hands on therapy has been used for centuries to relieve pain, improve mobility, manage stress and support the body’s wellbeing.

When you move well,

it shows in your performance

When your body is functioning at its peak then your performance instantly becomes more effortless and more beautiful.

Manual therapy can help increase range, decrease stiffness and remove restriction to movement.

Support your nervous system

Harness the power and the potential that comes from a relaxed body and mind. Whether you're a part time performer, an aspiring artist, or a seasoned performer, regular manual therapy can help you to find your best performance.

Manual therapy can help bring you into your body, manage stress and anxiety, calm your nervous system, and empower you to bring your best performance every time.

Find your balance

Performing requires an incredible amount of physical and mental effort and releases large amounts of adrenaline and cortisol into your system.

The ‘rush’ of performing can often leave your body in a heightened state of arousal that can be tricky to come down from. Manual therapy can help you manage your adrenaline levels and help you navigate the balance on and off the stage.

  • Massage is a technique that is typically used as part of a Myotherapy treatment. But Myotherapy will also incorporate a variety of techniques based on your presentation to give you the best results.

  • The answer will depend on you and your unique situation. However, in general some people find that regular treatment is really helpful for them to stay ‘on track’ feeling great and performing at their peak. Others find that they can maintain their body well and only occasionally need some treatment.
    The best approach is to find what works best for you. At Melbourne Performance Therapy we can help you find that approach.
