Myotherapy is a specialised type of treatment used to relieve deep muscle and joint pain. It has been found that when muscles are placed under a lot of strain trigger points form in these areas that result in localised pain. These trigger points can result in excruciating deep muscular pain that is commonly refer to as knots. These knots can also lead to difficulty with gross and fine motor movements in individuals. Myotherapy has been used to treat conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, migraines and back pain as well as other conditions.

Myotherapy combines various types of treatments that target the trigger point to help lessen pain. A qualified myotherapist is trained to use these different types of techniques treat the muscles pain caused by the knots in the trigger points. Myotherapist use deep tissue massages, ischemic compression, cupping, dry needling, and rehabilitative exercises as treatments and therapies to help cure and lessen muscle pain. Myotherapy targets the root cause of the pain by using a range of treatments to overcome the physical pain and damage caused by the trigger points. The wide range of treatment options also means that you get a personalised treatment plan to suit your individual need is. A myotherapist will draw up a special treatment plan tailored specifically to target the specific muscle that is causing you the pain.
