What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy involves direct manipulation of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia) to relieve pain and improve mobility.
Myotherapy relies on scientific research and best practices to ensure effective treatment. Myotherapists assess the patient's condition, including posture, range of motion, and muscle imbalances. They utilize a variety of techniques, including:
- Massage: To relieve muscle tension and improve circulation.
- Trigger point therapy: To target specific areas of pain and dysfunction.
- Dry needling: To release muscle restrictions and reduce pain.
- Stretching: To improve flexibility and range of motion.
- Joint mobilization: To restore proper joint movement.
- Exercise and rehabilitation: To strengthen muscles and improve function.
Conditions treated:
- Muscle pain: Including strains, sprains, and overuse injuries.
- Joint pain: Such as shoulder impingement and hip pain.
- Headaches: Including tension headaches.
- Sports injuries: To help athletes recover and prevent further injury.
- Postural problems: To correct imbalances and improve alignment.
- Chronic pain: To manage long-term pain conditions
