Myotherapy

Myotherapy is a type of physical therapy focusing on the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain. It is particularly effective in treating soft tissue pain and restricted joint movement caused by muscle dysfunction. Myotherapy involves various techniques, including:

• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to manipulate the muscles and soft tissues.

• Dry Needling: Insertion of fine needles into trigger points to relieve muscle tension.

• Myofascial Release: Gentle, sustained pressure on the connective tissue to alleviate pain and restore motion.

• Exercise Prescription: Personalized exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and posture.
• Postural Assessment and Correction: Evaluation and improvement of posture to prevent muscle strain and pain.

• Electrotherapy: Use of electrical currents to reduce pain and inflammation.

Myotherapists often work with individuals suffering from conditions such as back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and chronic pain syndromes. The goal is to restore normal function and alleviate pain through a combination of these techniques tailored to each individual’s needs.
