Myotherapy treatments focus on detecting and deactivating trigger points (or muscle knots), which may be referring and causing increased pain and or discomfort. Trigger points can result from birth, trauma, falls, strains, sprains, disease, occupation, misuse or overuse of certain parts of the body. Even though trigger points may lie dormant for years, they can “fire” and cause the muscle to go into painful spasm in the presence of physical or emotional stress.
Repeated spasms can keep the muscle continually contracted and subsequently cause trigger points to develop. These not only generate ongoing pain, but also interfere with posture, balance, and muscle function. Myotherapists also detect and correct muscle imbalances through corrective exercises, stretches, myofacial dry needling, TENS, heat and cold therapy and hands on soft tissue treatment.
What is a Myotherapist?
“Myo” is Greek for muscle, and hence a Myotherapist is a muscle specialist. Myotherapists are a multi-skilled therapists whose treatments focus on the preventative, corrective and rehabilitative phases of therapy in order to maintain and achieve the normal integrity of the muscles in the body.
