Ian Schmulian has had a meaningful and interesting path to his career in myotherapy and Trigger Point Clinic. Ian was injured in a motor car accident. After he was discharged from hospital, he attended a Transport Accident Commission (TAC) facility for a year as an outpatient. During that time, he was treated by many therapists to rehabilitate his physical activity. Eventually, he went back to work but the company he was working for at the time was liquidated.
By chance, he stumbled upon a massage course advertised and decided to enrol himself. What started off as a short course, ended up spanning to a three-year Diploma in Health Science and a Diploma in Myotherapy. He received qualifications from RMIT and Kangan Batman Institute in various specialisations over the years.In conjunction, Ian qualified as a Personal Trainer, gym instructor and spin instructor.
Ian’s passion for myotherapy and Trigger Point Clinic stems from his own experience with personal injury, which motivated him to learn more about the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones and joints), movement and rehabilitation.
Ian opened his myotherapy practice, Trigger Point Clinic after he qualified about 15 years ago. Initially, Trigger Point Clinic was located in Doncaster, and now practices from his home-based clinic in Caulfield. Tucked away in the quiet suburban streets of Caulfield, patients follow the pathway, through the beautifully maintained garden. When patients arrive early many of them wait by the tranquil flowing pond and embrace a Zen moment.
As part of his professional development, Ian continues to keep up-to-date with new evidence-based techniques and innovations in his field. Ian has broadened the range of equipment used at Trigger Point Clinic to include a High-Frequency Laser, Shockwave Therapy and also the use of a Compex Unit which is a very advanced TENS machine. Ian also offers patients the facility to borrow his loan equipment if they require additional therapy at home between treatments.
In his capacity as a myotherapist, Ian holds his duty of care to be paramount. Prior to commencing treatment, he makes a thorough assessment of each client’s medical history to ensure his practice. Where indicated he consults with allied health professionals, particularly when clients present with complex conditions.
