Welcome to Hands on Myotherapy

Established in April 2013, Hands On Myotherapy has built a reputation for providing exceptional, results-driven care in a professional and welcoming environment. After many successful years in Wantirna, the clinic relocated to its purpose-designed Frankston South location in June 2026, continuing its commitment to personalised, high-quality treatment.

What began as a small practice has grown through the loyalty of valued clients and a passion for delivering outstanding care. Today, Hands On Myotherapy Bayside offers dedicated appointment times designed to accommodate busy lifestyles, including convenient after-work availability.

Every treatment is personally delivered by an experienced and fully qualified myotherapist, ensuring continuity of care and an individualised approach. The focus is on understanding the underlying cause of your pain or dysfunction, developing tailored treatment strategies, and helping you achieve long-term improvements in movement, function and wellbeing.

At Hands On Myotherapy Bayside, you can expect professional clinical care, genuine compassion, and a commitment to helping you feel and perform at your best.

Alison Whitehead

Alison Whitehead

Director and Myotherapist

Alison is the owner and founder of Hands On Myotherapy. She has an Advanced Diploma in Remedial Massage and is a qualified Myotherapist with over 17 years’ experience.

My passion has always been helping people move better and live with less pain.

After many years operating a successful multidisciplinary clinic, I have chosen to create a more personal practice where I can dedicate my full attention to every client. This allows me to build long-term relationships and provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each individual.

I believe effective treatment is about listening, understanding the whole person, and delivering evidence-based hands-on therapy that achieves lasting results.

Despite having had experience as a sports trainer for various sporting teams and treating competitive athletes and sporting injuries, I believe in promoting optimal health through the rehabilitation and maintenance of the whole body, no matter what lifestyle my patients lead.

As a Mum of two young children, I have a keen interest in pregnancy and postpartum treatment and the challenges the body is presented with during this time and beyond. I pride myself on listening to my patients and offers caring and considered responses to their physical and emotional needs.

Alison manages to skillfully incorporate Remedial Massage work with dry needling, deep tissue, taping and corrective exercise programs to successfully treat many soft tissue conditions.

With a passion for keeping fit and healthy through participation in weight training, walking, and swimming, I understand the importance of maintaining the body.

"We all have busy lifestyles, and we need to look after our bodies in order to enjoy life to the fullest. I’m privileged to be able to assist people to overcome and recover from pain and injury. I strive to empower my clients with strategies for building and maintaining strong resilient bodies and help build confidence and peace of mind for coping with stresses and strains along life’s way. We are all learning, everyday of our lives and I learn so much from my clients; each one is unique and special to me. We work together to gain a positive outlook and control of our lives."

What to expect when attending

We are located in a home clinical setting in Frankston South. There is ample parking both on the property and street parking. Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing and you may wish to bring your own water bottle. If it is your first visit, please fill in your medical form attached to your confirmation email once you have booked an appointment. Our practitioner will ask a series of questions in regard to the presenting complaint and any relevant previous medical history. From here postural assessments and testing will be performed. A combination of massage and ‘profession specific’ techniques may be used according to what your body will need. After treatment, the implementation of a treatment plan may be discussed and may include exercises and stretching to do at home. If needed, you can make a forward booking at a time to suit you. It is recommended that you have some water to drink and do not undertake physical exertion immediately following treatment. If you have any questions or concerns following treatment, please give us a call.
