Myotherapy is a specific tactile discipline within the Natural Therapies & Allied Health field. Myotherapy involves a holistic approach to assessing muscles, nerves and joints which all contribute to pain.
Myotherapy provides precise, individual assessment and treatment of muscular pain and dysfunction, derived from muscles, nerves and joints such as; back pain, sciatica, hip and groin pain, shin splints, knee injuries, frozen shoulder, neck pain, jaw (TMJ) pain, headache and/or migraine. Myotherapy involves postural assessment and identification of contributing factors.
Treatment may include; deep tissue massage/remedial massage, dry needling, muscle stretching, vertebral/joint mobilization heat/ice therapy, cupping 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 results 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.
