What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a form of natural therapy that focuses on assessment, treatment and management of pain that is associated with soft tissue injury and restricted joint mobility.

It is a physical therapy treatment for common neuromusculoskeletal (nerve, muscle and joint) conditions that result from trauma, improper posture, overload or misuse of muscles, poor biomechanics and injury.

As myotherapists, we consider all aspects of your health and wellness in order to provide the best treatment and management of your conditions. This includes not only physical, but also psychological and occupational aspects.

    What Conditions Can Be Treated with Myotherapy?

    Trigger points are one of the most common conditions treated by a myotherapist.

    When stressed, injured, or experienced a trauma, your muscles often form trigger points like contracted knots.

    These trigger points are a major cause of muscle dysfunction that can cause deep aches and pain, local tenderness, and compromised muscle strength and flexibility. They can also build up for years if left untreated. Elimination of these trigger points can help alleviate intense and chronic pain.

    Other conditions that can be effectively treated with myotherapy include:

    • Upper & lower back pain
    • Headaches and neck pains
    • Muscle strains and sprains
    • Reduced joint mobility
    • Intense and chronic pain
    • Muscle spasms
    • Wry neck
    • Stiff joints
    • Tendonitis

    How Does Myotherapy Treatment Work?

    We use a range of evidence-based treatment techniques to restore, maintain and improve the integrity of soft tissue structures, including muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.

    At Northern Sports and Remedial Myotherapy, the myotherapy consultation starts with us taking a thorough history of your conditions and lifestyle to assess your condition. Then, we examine your condition using highly developed palpatory skills and comprehensive understanding of joint and muscular anatomy and function.

    This is followed by performing any necessary muscle, joint and neurological tests. We then proceed to identify the cause of your problems and talk you through possible solutions and management plans.

    We utilise a range of techniques to ensure effective and long-lasting results, such as:

    • Soft tissue therapy
    • Muscle stretching
    • Temperature therapies
    • Acupressure to trigger points
    • TENS therapy
    • Myofascial dry needling (MDN)
    • Muscle energy techniques (METS)

    Is Myotherapy Effective?

    The effectiveness of myotherapy varies from person to person, depending on your unique biology, conditions, lifestyle and adherence to the management plan. Some clients may get instant results, while some may take a bit longer. Either way, we guarantee you that you will achieve the results you are hoping for.

    A successful myotherapy treatment takes time, committed effort and behavioural changes. The key to this success is identifying the cause(s) and making the right changes, whether big or small. When you are on the right path, you will notice that you are not only free from those symptoms but also feel empowered and in control of your health!

    Benefits of Myotherapy

    Myotherapy can help improve the integrity of the soft tissue structures and manage various neuromusculoskeletal conditions in your body. This is important in preventing muscular dysfunction, pain and injury, which can improve movement and mobility.

    A detailed examination by the myotherapist means that once the cause of your pain and discomfort is recognised, it can be effectively corrected and managed. This will help to reduce your symptoms and prevent it from reoccurring in the future.

    We can help you reduce and relieve the pain of a wide range of conditions, including:

    • Chronic headaches and migraines
    • Frozen shoulder and neck pain
    • Lower back pain
    • Stress and anxiety
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Muscle tightness
    • Sport injuries
    • Soft tissue injuries
    • Occupational injuries
    • Arthritis
    • Plantar Fasciitis
