🚨 Myth Monday 🚨

Myth: Rest is best when you’re injured.

While some injuries may need a period of rest or protection, complete rest isn’t always the answer!

For many musculoskeletal injuries, a gradual and controlled return to movement can form an important part of recovery.

And returning to activity doesn’t necessarily mean jumping straight back into your normal training. Sometimes it’s about modifying what you’re already doing — adjusting the load, intensity, range or exercise — rather than stopping altogether.

In fact, research in Achilles tendinopathy has shown that people were able to continue pain-monitored running and jumping alongside a progressive loading program without poorer outcomes compared with those who stopped those activities. (PubMed)

The right amount of activity will depend on the injury and the individual — which is why rehab isn’t one-size-fits-all. 💙

“Wait… I came in for treatment. Why are you giving me exercises?!” 😂

Because what happens between your appointments matters too.

Hands-on treatment can be a valuable part of your care, but exercise gives us another way to help you build strength, endurance, function and capacity for the things you actually need your body to do.

And that doesn’t mean everyone gets the same three exercises printed off on a sheet. 🙅‍♀️

Your exercise prescription should have a purpose and relate to you — whether that’s getting back to running, returning to sport, lifting at the gym, managing a physical job or simply keeping up with the kids.

And ultimately?

We want you to need us less. 💙

Yep, we’re quite happy to talk ourselves out of a job. 😂 Our goal isn’t for you to rely on treatment alone forever. It’s to help give you the tools and confidence to stay active, manage your body and keep doing the things you love.

Want the research behind it? We’ve included some of the evidence on the final slide. 📚

🚨 Myth Monday 🚨

Myth: A massage needs to hurt to work.

We’ve all heard “no pain, no gain” — but when it comes to massage, more pressure doesn’t automatically mean better results.

Massage may help with pain for some musculoskeletal conditions, but there isn’t good evidence that treatment needs to be painful to be effective.

The amount of pressure used should be individualised to you, your presentation and your comfort — not based on how much pain you can tolerate.

And yes… you can absolutely leave a treatment thinking “that actually felt good” and still have had an effective treatment. 😂💙

🚨 Myth Monday 🚨

Myth: Good posture prevents back pain.

We’ve all been told to “sit up straight!” — but is there actually one perfect posture that protects your back? 🤔

Research doesn’t support a simple “bad posture = back pain” relationship.

Different postures may feel better or worse for different people, and a certain position may aggravate symptoms if you’re already experiencing back pain. But that doesn’t mean slouching is automatically damaging your back.

Rather than trying to hold the “perfect” posture all day, focus on moving regularly, changing positions and finding positions that feel comfortable for you.

💙 Your best posture might just be your next posture.

What does dry needling actually do? 👀

Dry needling is a technique we may use as part of treatment for some musculoskeletal conditions.

Current research suggests dry needling may provide short-term improvements in pain, while evidence around improvements in function is more mixed and can vary depending on the condition being treated.

At Seaford Myotherapy, dry needling is simply one tool in the toolbox. When appropriate, it may form part of a broader treatment plan alongside exercise, education and progressive loading.

And importantly — not everyone needs dry needling! 💙

🚨 Myth Monday 🚨

Myth: Stretching will fix tight muscles.

Stretching can absolutely feel good, and for some people it provides temporary relief. But that doesn’t mean it’s always the solution.

That feeling of “tightness” isn’t always because a muscle is physically short. Sometimes it’s your body’s way of protecting an area, responding to increased workload, or asking for more strength and movement rather than more stretching.

That’s why the same stretch that helps one person might do very little for someone else.

The key is understanding why you feel tight in the first place.

🚨 Myth Monday 🚨

Myth: More pain = more damage.

Not always.

Pain is your body’s way of protecting you, but it doesn’t always reflect the amount of tissue damage present. Many factors can influence how we experience pain, including stress, poor sleep, previous injuries and how sensitive our nervous system has become.

That’s why an assessment is so important. Rather than focusing solely on where it hurts, we look at the bigger picture to help understand what’s contributing to your symptoms and create a treatment plan that’s right for you.
