Muscle Needs Myotherapy

The word Myo is Latin for muscle, therefore

Myotherapy = Muscle therapy

Myotherapy treats muscle and soft tissue injuries that cause pain or affect movement.

Myotherapy works to treat and prevent injuries by correcting and rehabilitating the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) of the human body.

Depending on the particular problem, the Myotherapist may use a combination of the following treatments:

Deep tissue massage
Trigger point dry needling
Cupping
Thermal therapies (heat & cold)
Electromechanical stimulation (TENs)
Myofascial stretching
Corrective & rehabilitative exercises

As Myotherapists we treat the cause as well as the symptoms of a wide range of muscle and soft tissue conditions.

When to see a Myotherapist

When pain lasts longer than a few days
When movement is restricted
During the rehabilitative phase of an injury
Those showing symptoms of pain associated with stress or strain
Those suffering chronic conditions affecting mobility
