Myotherapy is a form of manual therapy which uses evidence-based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation techniques to assess, treat and manage neuromusculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
Myotherapists use a broad range of manual therapy techniques and primarily focus on; joint mobilisation, neurodynamic techniques, dry needling and electro-dry needling, musculoskeletal alignment, deep tissue massage and myofascial techniques (including; cupping and trigger point therapy), muscle stretching and a range of rehabilitative exercises.
Muscular dysfunction can be caused by trauma, overload or misuse of muscles arising from occupational, sporting or recreational activities. Symptoms of soft tissue pain is any pain caused by muscle tissue or muscle fascia and can include:
- Sporting Injuries
- Deep, consistent aching
- Muscle tightness
- Sore spots in the muscle (myofascial trigger points)
- Reduced joint mobility
- Stiff or painful joints
- Numbness
- Recurrent tingling or ‘pins and needles’ sensation
A Myotherapist can help to identify the cause of your complaints and treat the cause rather then just treating your symptoms.
