Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Myotherapy)

The Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Myotherapy) at the Southern School of Natural Therapies in Melbourne focuses on musculoskeletal management through manual therapy, pain science, and evidence-informed practice. Students explore anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the clinical reasoning skills required for treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Over six semesters, students complete core units and practical classes, building up to professional skills in myofascial release, dry needling, rehabilitation, and patient education.

Australian bachelor degrees like this typically involve three years of full-time study, with students enrolling in a series of units of study that each have their own credit point value. This course combines theory with practical training, including work-integrated learning through clinical placements in supervised environments. Placements are a critical part of Australian myotherapy degrees, students gain hands-on experience with real clients in student clinics and partner health providers.

Through lecture-based learning, guided tutorials, and practical labs, you’ll learn clinical assessment, manual therapy techniques, and case management. The degree appeals to those interested in health care settings, injury management, or supporting people with chronic pain. English proficiency is required as outlined for undergraduate degrees in Australia; multiple test options are accepted.
