Brunswick Myotherapy & Massage

What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapists assess and physically treat myofascial pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility. Myotherapy is applied in the preventative, corrective and rehabilitative phases of therapy to restore and maintain the normal integrity of the soft tissue structure (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) of the human body.

Pain or symptoms caused by muscle (myo) or fascia is described as myofascial. Myofascial pain is usually not specific and is often described by the patient as a ‘deep ache’, ‘tightness’ or ‘tenderness’ in an area. It can vary in intensity and radiate to other areas. Other symptoms can include reduced range of motion of muscles and joints, stiffness, fatigue, weakness, numbness or a tingling sensation. There are many other symptoms depending on the condition and patients can have one or many symptoms.

Common conditions that Myotherapists can treat include:

Sporting & occupational injuries
Stiffness & pain associated with poor posture
Associated joint & vertebral dysfunction & pain
Acute & chronic conditions affecting function & mobility
Scoliosis / Kyphosis
Headaches / migraines
Acute and chronic stiff and painful neck
Chronic overuse syndromes – tendonitis, RSI, tennis/golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel
Acute & chronic back pain / ‘sciatica’
Shoulder pain, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder
Hand & finger numbness / tingling – thoracic outlet syndrome
Knee, leg & foot pain – shin splints, patella tracking dysfunction, runners knee, ankle sprains
Arthritis / Multiple Sclerosis
Pregnancy – pre/post natal complaints
Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia
Pain & dysfunction associated with stress & tension
Rehabilitative stage of an injury or illness

What to expect from a myotherapy consultation:

Assessment – Clinical assessment is reliant on history taking, examination routines of particular joints or regions, assisted by highly developed tactile, palpatory skills and a thorough understanding of joint and muscular assessment procedures. These skills distinguish Myotherapy from other physical therapies. Assessment of potential causes of dysfunction is also important, as is a detailed postural examination.

Treatment – Soft tissue manipulation, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial dry needling, Myofascial release, Cupping, Thermal therapy / Cryotherapy, TENS machines, Postural assessment and correction, Corrective exercises (stretches, strength), Core stability exercises and workshops, Diet and nutritional advice if needed.
