MYOTHERAPY
What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is the evidence based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. Our team of Myotherapists target the soft tissue of the body, namely muscle groups and connective tissue (myofascia), to help reduce pain, improve muscle function and increase joint range of motion. They also provide education on a range of postural complaints, functional movement and corrective exercise; helping to provide sustained relief.
The most common complaints people see a Myotherapist for are:
- Headaches
- Stiff Neck
- Chronic Back Pain
- Knee & Hip Joint Pain
- Shoulder Dysfunction including Impingement Syndrome & Rotator Cuff Injury
- Nerve Tension including Sciatica
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Sports Injuries
- Workplace or Overuse Injury
