What training does a myotherapist have?
Training: IRMA Myotherapists are tertiary trained in biophysical science. They have a thorough knowledge of anatomy, surface anatomy, biomechanics, kinesiology, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, nutrition and scientific evaluation. IRMA Myotherapists, like other physical therapists such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths, and Physiotherapists may choose to work in a variety of clinical situations, either alone or as part of a team of professionals in a multi-disciplinary health centre. This will involve primary patient contact or the referral of patients from other health care professionals. Alternatively, IRMA Myotherapists will refer patients, to ensure access to others with appropriate skills, or for investigations requiring further anatomical and pathological diagnosis. Recognition: Our Myotherapists are recognised professionally through the Institute of Registered Myotherapists of Australia Inc. and have industry representation through the Hospital Services Union No.3 Branch (AHPU).
