What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy treats muscle and soft tissue injuries that cause pain and/or affect movement. Myotherapy treatments help to relieve muscular tension, spasm and cramps caused by stress, exercise, trauma, overuse or the effects of surgery.
The aims and techniques of Myotherapy are as follows:
- promoting healing in soft tissue by increasing blood flow
- deactivating trigger points that cause local and referred pain
- increasing joint flexibility and range of movement
- deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy
- myofascial dry needing (muscular acupuncture)
- cupping
- soft tissue stretching
