Officially a myotherapist, Procare Geelong’s Shanti Arwen has developed a wider reputation as a medical soft-tissue therapist across a range of treatments.
Shanti’s adept at everything from trigger-point therapy, deep-tissue massage and lymphatic drainage through to dry needling, muscle energy technique, pregnancy massage and postural analysis.
“These old fingers of mine know so much more than I do,” she laughs serenely.
“I really love my hands-on rehabilitation work.”
Shanti attributes her “spiritual compassion” for her journey to myotherapy through healing disciplines including nursing, Ayurvedic medicine, remedial massage and aromatherapy.
“I allow space for the body to heal itself,” she explains.
“I create space in muscle fibres so nerves and vessels can communicate and pulse effectively, space in muscular systems for joints and bones to restore, and space in a quiet room for the mind to allow the body to operate the way it knows how.
“I’m very clinical when it comes to hygiene and dry needling but I prefer to work in a tranquil, home-like space within a clinic.”
Shanti describes working at Procare as “an absolute joy”.
“We hear the phrase ’dedicated team’ all the time but I really am working with a dedicated team and our patients know this.
“We’re all dedicated to our craft, our patients and each other. We’re deeply connected as a family within the family of Geelong and we work together hand in glove.”
