Sandra - Myotherapist

Myotherapy | Sports | Dry Needling | Cupping | Pregnancy

Sandra is a qualified Myotherapist and the owner of
Knots + Niggles Therapy.

Myotherapy isn’t where she started her career.
Studying Economics at uni and working in marketing and agency life for more than 10 years, Sandra always used sport as an outlet to balance her busy work life.

Massage, Myotherapy and exercise have always played an integral role in her own well-being, injury rehabbing and recovery before she decided to study Myotherapy herself.

Anchored with a strong foundation of using her hands on skills, Sandra thrives on understanding movement, functionality, neuroscience and the psychology behind people’s pain and dysfunction.

Sandra believes the hands-on aspect is just one part of the treatment. Educating her clients about why and where the pain stems from is equally important.

Sandra has a keen interest in lower back pain and loves to connect with both athletes and the wider community.

Outside clinic, Sandra works as a lecturer at the Melbourne Institute of Massage & Myotherapy and loves to explore our mountains through trail running and Mountain biking.
