Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain, injury and dysfunction. Myotherapist's utilise a range of treatment techniques to restore and maintain the normal and correct integrity of the soft tissue structures within the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia).
Trigger points (areas of localised muscle contraction) within muscles are an example of soft tissue dysfunction that can cause deep aching pain, local tenderness, referred pain limiting strength and flexibility. A Myotherapist can identify these trigger points and deactivate them using various soft tissue manipulation techniques.
