Myotherapy consists of assessing, treating, and managing the pain associated with soft tissue injury and restricted joint movement which has been caused by myofascial, bio-mechanical stress or muscle dysfunction.
It is an approach to injury management where the whole body is taken into account as well as your specific issue. Often a person’s pain and suffering is often referred pain in another part of the body.
Myotherapy utilises several techniques such as soft tissue and deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, dry needling, and heat therapies. Rehabilitation of the injury or condition can be assisted through structured exercise and/or stretching prescription and corrective advice.
An initial Myotherapy consultation is required which involves a brief questionnaire of medical history and investigation of your presenting injury history, skeletal structure and postural assessment including the assessing of range of movement testing, joint mobility, muscle strength and neurological testing, orthopaedic tests and a palpatory assessment

Myotherapy (muscular therapy) is the assessment and the application of various physical techniques to treat pain, and the rehabilitation of the soft tissue and underlying causes of muscular injury and dysfunction.
The aims of Myotherapy treatment are to improve muscular strength, flexibility, and to decrease pain. It also serves as a great way to rehabilitate existing conditions where possible.
Myotherapy can be used for a number of different injuries and/or conditions that have resulted from strains, sprains, occupational, postural and recreational stresses, emotional stress, incorrect ergonomics, faulty bio-mechanics, and muscular imbalances, traumatic or overuse injuries and/or chronic neuromuscular or musculoskeletal illness or disease.
The need for Myotherapy might be just for general aches and pains, headaches, neck or back pain, joint stiffness, neurological symptoms or reduced flexibility.
Myotherapy is a modality that addresses ill health and dysfunctionality on several levels.
