Myotherapy


Myotherapists assess and physically treat myofascial pain, injury and dysfunction affecting mobility and movement. Myotherapy is applied in the preventative, corrective and rehabilitative phases of therapy to restore and maintain the normal integrity of the soft tissue structure (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) of the human body.

A Myotherapist takes a clinical approach, such as orthopaedic tests, postural assessment, neurological and functional testing in conjunction with a thorough palpatory assessment of the spine, peripheral joints, and the contraction of muscles. Myotherapy treatments may consist of deep soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, dry needling, TENS, myofascial cupping, ice/heat, fascial taping, stretching and corrective exercises.


Finely tuned offers Myotherapy and Remedial Massage. All treatments can be tailored to your requirements. From musculoskeletal pain, headaches, sports injuries, sports massage, pregnancy massage and general well being. Finely tuned also offers corporate treatments to small and large company's.

What We Do Best.



  • Dry Needling

    Myofascial dry needling involves the direct insertion of an acupuncture needle into a trigger point. The trigger point, which is an area of hyperirritability within a muscle, is then manipulated with the needle. The needle enters the trigger point which is then deactivated by manipulating the needle.
  • Remedial Massage - Sports massage

    Remedial Massage - Muscles, tendons and fascia can become damaged or impaired in many ways. Muscles get knotted and tense, and excessive stress can increase the pain and cause decreased movement. Remedial massage will treat soft tissue injuries, aching muscles and postural imbalances using a variety of techniques. Remedial massage can provide treatment that can be gentle or deep massage.

    Sports massage benefits all athletes helping to prevent muscle and tendon injuries. This helps reduce the strain and discomfort of training, allowing a quicker return to maximum training levels and enables the athlete to recover quickly from myofascial injury with less chance of chronic problems returning increasing performance levels.
  • Pre & Post-Natal Massage

    Using a custom-made pregnancy cushion, this massage is a safe, natural method to help prepare your body for delivery & restore your body after birth. Myotherapy treatment can be great for pregnant women to relax the muscles and ensure you are as comfortable as possible in the final stages.

Akiko Yagi


I first became interested in massage therapy because I had been suffering from chronic shoulder and neck stiffness that caused frequent headaches. Getting regular massages helped me a lot and made me aware of the positive effects massage had on both body and mind. Through my study and practice I believe that remedial massage helps the body’s ability to heal itself and also increases quality of life. I am passionate about furthering my knowledge by treating clients who have different bodies and conditions. I graduated with a diploma of remedial massage in 2010 and am also a certified pregnancy massage practitioner, it is such a pleasure to feel the mother-and-baby connection while providing a pregnancy massage. I can also incorporate myofascial cupping with various remedial massage techniques according to my clients needs. Apart from work, I enjoy practicing yoga and eating nutrient-rich, well-balanced foods as well as trying to live an ecologically friendly life!
