Myotherapy

Targeted Therapy For Total Body Wellness

Myotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that focuses on assessing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This hands-on therapy focuses on relieving muscular pain and improving overall function by using a variety of techniques:

  • Remedial Massage Focusing on soft tissue to reduce muscle tightness and improve mobility.

  • Deep Tissue Techniques Working on deeper muscle layers to address chronic pain and muscle stiffness.

  • Dry Needling Targeting trigger points with thin needles to release muscle tension.

  • Cupping Therapy Using suction to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation.

"Empower your body to heal, restore and thrive."

Myotherapy can also work in harmony with your Chiropractic care; while Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and the nervous system, Myotherapy addresses the soft tissue component. By treating the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, Myotherapy can enhance the effectiveness of your Chiropractic adjustments.Together, they create a powerful synergy that supports the body’s recovery, helping you towards feeling pain-free and regaining optimal function by improving flexibility, reducing pain, and addressing muscle dysfunction.

Whether you're suffering from chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to improve mobility, Myotherapy can provide the relief and support you need.

When You Should See A Myotherapist?

Myotherapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions. Here are some common reasons you might choose to see a Myotherapist:

  • Chronic Muscle or Joint Pain If you're dealing with ongoing muscle or joint pain, Myotherapy can help identify the cause and provide relief through targeted treatments like deep tissue massage, dry needling, and cupping.

  • Tension Headaches and Migraines Myotherapists can treat tension headaches and migraines caused by muscle tightness, especially in the neck, upper back, and shoulders, to reduce pain and even frequency.

  • Hip Pain & Sciatica Myotherapy can assist in relieving hip pain and sciatic nerve discomfort by releasing tight muscles, improving mobility, and reducing inflammation.

  • Post-Injury Recovery If you're recovering from an injury, Myotherapy can aid healing by reducing muscle tightness, improving mobility, and supporting you to prevent re-injury.

  • Poor Posture Myotherapists can help correct postural imbalances, improving muscle function and preventing long-term discomfort or pain from poor posture.

  • Stress-Induced Muscle Tension If stress is causing tightness in areas like your neck and shoulders, Myotherapy can relieve this tension and promote relaxation.
