MYOTHERAPY

Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal problems and pain. The objectives of a Myotherapy treatment are to alleviate pain and restore ideal mechanics in your body using a number of treatment techniques, including massage, dry needling, cupping, and corrective exercises.

The profession of remedial massage was expanded upon to create Myotherapy. It was acknowledged that practitioners needed more thorough training to have a more comprehensive understanding of anatomy, physiology, and the bio-mechanics of pain and injury. The leaders in the field who created Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy were Dr Janet Travell and Dr David Simons.

Beyond massage, Myotherapy has developed to embrace additional modes of pain management and trigger point therapy. Treatments for Myotherapy incorporate techniques like dry needling, cupping, and therapeutic exercise.
