Myotherapy

What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy defined: Myotherapy is the evidence-based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions.

Myotherapists use a range of different techniques to treat and reduce the pain caused by muscles throughout the body. By treating the muscular system, we are able to reduce the amount of pain at both the direct sight of the injury and the pain referral through-out the body.

How is Myotherapy different to Massage?

Myotherapy is more specific to treating the muscles and structures that are directly involved with the causation of pain. Myotherapists are trained in orthopaedic testing in order to diagnose injury and the muscles involved in causing pain. Myotherapists have a larger range of treatment modalities at their disposal (see above).
Myotherapy is aimed at treating the cause of muscular pain and dysfunction.
