Many of the conditions treated by Myotherapists involve the muscles, nerves and joints in some way. Muscle contracture, as a result of trigger points and/or taut bands, manifests itself as local and/or referred pain.

This may be caused by trauma, ageing, overload or misuse of muscles arising from occupational, sporting and recreational activities, or congenital factors such as skeletal abnormality or asymmetry.

Disorders within the systems of the body can also cause muscular type pain, which may include chronic fatigue, post viral myalgic conditions, fibromyalgia or vitamin deficiency.

Some conditions commonly treated by Myotherapists include;

• muscular aches and pains; occupational, stress, anxiety
• postural abnormalities; structural or functional
• injury rehabilitation; sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tears, ruptures
• headache/migraine; cluster, migraine, muscle tension, hormonal, referred pain from other muscles
• neck pain; joint, muscle spasm, occupational
• back pain; upper, lower, sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• sciatica; varying degrees of back pain and radiation to thighs and feet
• joint problems; frozen shoulder, impingement, clicking, restrictions in range, joint pain
• carpal tunnel syndrome; overuse, pins and needles in hands, pregnancy induced
• compartment syndrome; anterior or posterior leg
• foot pain; plantar fasciatis, flat feet, tendon strain
• groin pain; muscle strain, muscle rupture, referred from back or hip
• hip pain; arthritis, gluteal muscle spasm, piriformis syndrome
• systemic conditions; fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, viral myalgia, vitamin deficiencies
• myofascial pain syndrome
• stroke; muscle spasm and co-ordination
• pregnancy related conditions; backache, headache, shoulder and neck pain, heavy/aching legs and feet, hip and groin pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, restlessness & insomnia
