Myotherapy

Myotherapy is a specialized form of muscle and movement therapy that focuses on assessing, treating, managing and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Here are a few reasons why Myotherapy is different to other approaches:

​

Focus on Pain Relief and Management

Myotherapy is particularly effective for addressing both acute and chronic pain conditions. It uses a range of current, scientific, evidence-based techniques to treat the root causes of pain, as well as site specific issues, such as muscle tension, nerve compression, and joint stiffness, rather than just masking the symptoms.

​

Comprehensive Individualised Assessment

First up we start with a detailed client history-taking and questions related to your condition (YES, we listen) then conducting assessments, including postural analysis, functional movement tests or understand your current stressors to find the root cause. This ensures a personalised treatment plan tailored to the individual's specific needs and underlying issues.

​

Team work to achieve your goals

Getting Myotherapy treatment will only get you so far. In order for your muscles and body to move and feel better, it will require effort on your part. All that we ask is that you meet us halfway. Rehabilitation has to be a partnership between us both. We are invested in your goals from the moment you walk in and expect the same in return. Hands on work will help the symptoms for a time, though once coupled with activities and exercises correct for you, it will help your achieve your goals. Unfortunately the work can't be done for you. Instead of thinking you can't do work yourself, let's take the fear away and replace it with empowerment. Let's find something that interests you, aligns with you, your needs and lifestyle and something you will enjoy doing.

• Pain management: Empowering clients with education and tools  to support and achieve their goals at home.

• Mindset: Helping clients to further understand their bodies, offer support, and empower them with the right tools and advise for their condition. 

​

Holistic Approach

Myotherapy considers the entire musculoskeletal system and how it interacts with other body systems. It often includes education on how the systems in the body support each other, lifestyle advice, ergonomic education, pain and stress management to address contributing factors and support. 

​

Evidence-Based and Results-Driven

This discipline emphasizes scientifically validated techniques and ongoing outcome evaluation. Therapists adjust treatments based on the client’s progress, ensuring measurable and sustainable improvements.

These features make Clinical Myotherapy a standout therapy for anyone dealing with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
