Shaun Gaskett is a myotherapist based in Kenmore, Brisbane (Kenhaven Street, Kenmore QLD 4069). He looks after everyday muscle problems that can build up from work, sport, awkward sleeping positions, or just life in general.
Myotherapy is all about the soft tissues. That means helping when muscles feel tight, sore, or “knotted”, and when movement feels a bit limited. In many cases, people come in with pain that won’t quite settle, or stiffness that keeps coming back. At times, that can show up as niggles in the neck, back, hips, shoulders, or legs, and it can make normal routines feel harder.
Shaun’s approach uses massage therapy to ease tension and support better movement. He also uses trigger point therapy, which targets those specific tight areas that can refer discomfort to other parts of the body. If a muscle keeps gripping, it can affect how you walk, sit, or lift. The goal is to calm things down, improve comfort, and help your body move more freely.
Alongside hands-on treatment, he focuses on muscle relaxation techniques and stretching exercises. This part can be really important, especially if the same tight spots keep returning. People often feel the difference during the session, but it’s also about helping you understand what to do after, so you can keep things moving in the right direction.
In terms of training, Shaun’s work is based on the practical skills used in his service work, including massage therapy, trigger point therapy, muscle relaxation techniques, and stretching exercises. The plan is usually simple and grounded, with care that fits around what’s going on for you on the day. If you’re dealing with ongoing muscle tightness or discomfort, Shaun’s clinic style is designed to be calm, clear, and focused on what your body needs right now.
