Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy

COVID-19 Announcement: Changes to course delivery. View our Coronavirus updates page.

Further your knowledge and skills in massage

The Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy builds on knowledge and skills obtained in the Diploma of Remedial Massage and provides in depth theoretical information, advanced skills and relevant practical facilitation.

This course will provide specialist skills in:
• Advanced physical, orthopedic and neuro-dynamic assessment techniques and treatment planning strategies
• Evidence based myotherapy treatment techniques (such as myofascial dry needling, joint mobilisation, cupping and TENS)
• Functional anatomy and corrective exercise prescription
• Research and evidence based analysis and application
• Business development and legal compliance.

The skills and knowledge gained will enable the qualified remedial massage therapist to practice as a myotherapist in their own practice or as part of a health clinic.

TIMETABLE:
Tuesday and Wednesday - hours subject to timetable.

Please note that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing requirements, to continue your learning journey, this program will be delivered remotely where possible.

Participants will be required to engage with theoretical components of the course online and via video conferencing software rather than attend classes. Refer to our COVID-19 Online Service Standards for details of minimum technical requirements and support available.

Practical skills training and assessment will be carried out in scheduled small classes to meet social distancing requirements. Practical Placement is a required component of this course and will be scheduled as soon as possible with an appropriate placement host. Given the current environment, however, this may take longer than normal and therefore, expected completion dates for the course may need to be extended to take account of deferred placement.

If you have any queries on the practical placement of a course, please contact our student information centre on 1300 244 746 or enquiries@chisholm.edu.au.
