JIAN INDOMENICO
MYOTHERAPIST
Having completed Myotherapy at RMIT in 2019 and currently completing my final months of a Masters of Osteopathy at Victoria University, my approach to treatment is a person-centred perspective. I assess how the 11 systems of the body effect your physical function in completing everyday activities and performance. I also take into consideration previous injuries, mindfulness, ergonomics, and general health status to create and meet the best outcomes and client health and performance goals.
Throughout my studies, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse teams of health practitioners both in private practice and performance settings, gaining knowledge and learning new techniques along the way. This has helped shape the practitioner that I am still growing to become and has allowed me to treat and create plans for a broad range of clients from professional athletes to clients suffering from musculoskeletal trauma due to long term disabilities or accidents.
Outside of the treatment room/gym space and of course the university campus, I enjoy travelling, keeping active at the gym, pool or on the reformer, mindfulness and all things food.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Upon meeting, expect an assessment of your presenting condition, this will involve answering some questions, including a brief discussion on your goals and how we can best work together to achieve them. I will then ask you to perform some movements that will help us identify what structures may be contributing to the reason for your visit.
Depending on your presentation, you can expect a variety of hands-on techniques that focus on improving muscle tissue length, tightness, or soreness, increasing joint mobility, aiding metabolisation of the body’s by-products and enhancing blood circulation.
This can be achieved utilising a variety of techniques and tools such as:
-
Massage
-
Trigger Point Therapy
-
Myofascial Release Techniques
-
Joint Mobilisation
-
Muscle Energy Techniques
-
Cupping
-
Scraping
-
Dry needling
-
Heat therapy and more
As a manual therapist, the core of my work involves not only employing specific tools and techniques to alleviate your symptoms but also educating you about their benefits and how they align with your goals. Based on your recovery journey, you can expect to integrate strengthening exercises that complement our hands-on sessions. Once we identify any strength imbalances and begin pain relief, our next step is to strengthen your body to prevent pain recurrence. This includes tailored pain education and insights into how the nervous system influences our functionality and healing.
Depending on your interests and goals—whether you prefer gym workouts,
reformer Pilates, or yoga—I will design a personalised program to enhance your
rehab, strength, or flexibility. Programs are conveniently delivered via Physitrack
directly to your smartphone, or we can collaborate one-on-one to ensure correct
technique and maximise your effort.
It's important to approach exercises like Pilates and yoga with the right foundation to avoid transforming a potentially beneficial exercise into a painful one. I offer assessments using our in-house Pilates reformer and functional training equipment to guide you towards better movement, a life with minimal pain, and effective self-management strategies when pain does occur.
