Myotherapy is a specific tactile discipline within the Natural Therapies & Allied Health field.
Myotherapy provides precise, individual assessment and treatment of muscular pain and dysfunction, derived from muscles, nerves and joints such as back pain, sciatica and/or migraine. Myotherapy involves a holistic approach to assessing muscles, nerves and joints which all contribute to pain.
Treatments may include cupping, deep tissue massage, dry needling, muscle stretching, vertebral/joint mobilisation heat/ice therapy or ultrasound. These modalities restore neuromusclular function, deactivate muscular triggers points and increase joint range and mobility. This, in turn, decreases pain levels and allows clients to return to work, return to sport and generally live life without the burden of chronic or acute pain.
Myotherapy also focuses on long term pain relief by providing home exercise programs for clients to help manage their condition and eliminate precursors. Exercises are performed outside consultation time, which increases effectiveness of treatment. This allows clients to have autonomy and control of their condition and maximizes the success of their myotherapy treatments.
