MYOTHERAPY
Myotherapy is a targeted treatment that alleviates muscle pain, improves mobility, and supports recovery through techniques like deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy.
What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of muscular pain and movement disorders. Using techniques such as deep tissue massage, dry needling, and trigger point therapy, myotherapists target muscle tightness, tension, and discomfort to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Who is Myotherapy For?
Myotherapy is ideal for anyone suffering from muscle pain, stiffness, or injury. Whether you're an athlete, office worker, or just looking for relief from chronic pain or stress, myotherapy can help. It's particularly effective for those experiencing:
Back, neck, or shoulder pain
Sports injuries
Postural issues
Headaches or migraines
Muscle tightness and tension
Benefits of Myotherapy
Myotherapy is not just about treating muscle pain, but also about improving function and preventing future discomfort, some key benefits include:
Pain Relief
Myotherapy uses specialised techniques such as dry needling and deep tissue massage to directly target areas of muscle tension, helping to reduce pain, discomfort, and inflammation for long-lasting relief.
Improved Mobility
By addressing muscle tightness and imbalances, myotherapy enhances flexibility, increases range of motion, and helps to restore smooth, unrestricted movement, making daily activities and exercise easier.
Injury Recovery
Whether it's a sports injury or a result of daily strain, myotherapy accelerates healing by improving circulation, reducing swelling, and easing muscle stiffness, allowing for faster and more effective recovery.
Stress Reduction
Myotherapy is not only beneficial for physical pain but also helps to alleviate mental and emotional stress. Techniques that target muscle tension can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and help you feel more balanced overall.
Long-Term Wellness
Regular myotherapy sessions help maintain muscle health, correct posture, and prevent the recurrence of injuries by addressing muscular imbalances and strengthening the body’s natural movement patterns.
Enhanced Posture
Myotherapy helps correct muscular imbalances and tension that contribute to poor posture, promoting better alignment of the spine and reducing strain on muscles, which can alleviate discomfort and prevent future issues.
