MYOTHERAPIST · MASSAGE & MYOTHERAPY AUSTRALIA MEMBER

Ian Geduld

Myotherapist · Wellbeing Chiropractic Pakenham

I’m Ian Geduld, a myotherapist at our Pakenham clinic on Princes Highway and a member of Massage & Myotherapy Australia. I completed my Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in 2006 and have spent the twenty years since working hands-on across a number of different clinics. Baseball took me as far as representing Victoria, so I know what it is like to train hard and carry a niggle, and that is where my interest in injury prevention and rehabilitation comes from. I’m at Pakenham on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

20 years as a myotherapist

Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in 2006, then two decades of hands-on work across a number of different clinics.

What brings Pakenham locals in to see Ian

A niggle that keeps interrupting training or work

Tight hamstrings after football, a shoulder that complains at the gym, a lower back that stiffens on long drives. Ian looks at the muscles and movement habits behind the complaint and works on them before a small problem turns into a lay-off.

Coming back from an injury

Rehabilitation is a special interest. Ian uses soft tissue work, dry needling and cupping to support the recovery process, and myotherapy sits comfortably alongside the chiropractic care available at the same clinic.

Pregnancy & everyday tension

Pregnancy massage adapted to each stage, and regular sessions for people who want to stay on top of tension from desk work, shift work or parenting. Supporting general wellbeing is as much a part of Ian’s week as treating injuries.

A session with Ian starts with a chat about what has been bothering you and what you hope to get back to, followed by an assessment of the muscles and movement involved. Treatment is drawn from remedial massage, cupping and dry needling to suit the problem and your comfort, and he explains what he is finding as he goes. Where it helps, you leave with a stretch or a habit to work on between visits.

Namibia, Mount Waverley & twenty years of hands-on work

Ian was born in Namibia and moved to Australia when he was three, growing up in Mount Waverley in Melbourne’s east. Sport filled most of his spare time, and baseball took him a long way: he played at a high level, represented Victoria, and still plays today.

He completed an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in 2006 and has spent the twenty years since working across a number of different clinics. That experience shaped his special interests in injury prevention, rehabilitation and supporting general wellbeing, and his treatments draw on remedial massage, cupping, dry needling and pregnancy massage. He is a member of Massage & Myotherapy Australia.

Away from the clinic Ian loves music and playing guitar, and he enjoys all sports in general. He joined Wellbeing Chiropractic Pakenham in October 2026 and consults on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Assess first, then match the treatment to you

Your first visit is a 60 minute myotherapy initial consultation. Ian takes a proper history, assesses the muscles and movement patterns involved, and in most cases begins treatment in the same session, explaining what he is doing and why.

The hands-on work is matched to the problem and to your comfort. Remedial massage addresses tight or overworked muscle, cupping and dry needling give him two more ways to work on stubborn areas, and pregnancy massage is positioned and adapted for each stage. Advice on stretches, load and habits rounds out the plan for the days between visits.

“Twenty years in clinics has taught me that the best sessions start with listening. Tell me what you are trying to get back to, and we will plan the hands-on work around it.”

How I work in the treatment room

Remedial massage

Targeted soft tissue work on tight, overworked or recovering muscle, with pressure set to your comfort.

Dry needling

Fine needles placed into tight bands of muscle. Explained before it is used, and always optional.

Cupping

Suction cups that lift and decompress the tissue, used on areas where direct pressure is not the best tool.

Pregnancy massage

Supportive positioning and gentler techniques adapted to each stage of pregnancy.

Injury prevention & rehabilitation

Soft tissue care paced alongside your training or recovery plan, with practical advice for the days in between.

Questions patients ask

Myotherapy is the assessment and hands-on treatment of muscle and joint problems. It uses remedial massage techniques and adds tools such as dry needling, cupping and exercise advice, so the session is built around an assessment of your problem rather than a set routine.

The first visit is a 60 minute initial consultation: a chat about the problem and what you hope to get from treatment, an assessment of the muscles and movement involved, then treatment in the same session where appropriate.

The needles are very fine. You may feel a short, dull ache or a twitch in the muscle as it responds. Ian explains it before he uses it, and it is always your choice.

Yes. Pregnancy massage is one of Ian’s treatments, with positioning and techniques adapted to your stage of pregnancy. If your pregnancy has complications, check with your GP or midwife first.
