Myotherapy is wonderful for the treatment of pain resulting from injury, muscle stiffness or loss of mobility. 

A treatment session includes assessment of the problem, manual treatment and advice for ongoing management of the condition to provide lasting relief.

Some of the symptoms which respond well to myotherapy include deep and constant aches, muscle tightness, tenderness in localised areas of the muscle (trigger points), reduced muscle and joint mobility, numbness or tingling sensation, fatigue and weakness.

Myotherapy can be useful for a wide range of injuries and conditions including;
* Overuse or repetitive strain injuries
* Strains or sprains
* Stress (occupational, emotional, environmental)
* Poor posture
* Headaches
* Sports or occupational injuries
* Chronic musculoskeletal or neuromuscular disorders
* Acute or traumatic injuries
* Pre and post natal conditions
* Some joint stiffness or pain

Depending on the particular condition, myotherapy treatment may involve a combination of modalities including trigger point therapy, dry needling therapy, massage (deep tissue, sports, pregnancy), myofascial release, TENS therapy, cupping, stretching, corrective exercises/advice, heat therapy and cryotherapy.

Myotherapy treatment aims to improve the patient’s understanding of the condition, reduce pain, increase their range of motion, decrease the occurrence, and to help manage their condition.
