Myotherapy
The body needs to be kept in top condition to function at its best.
Unfortunately sometimes, through injury, poor maintenance, or the constant stresses of day-to-day living, our bodies can start to feel pain. Musculoskeletal therapy may help in alleviating pain and treating injuries and functional problems.
Musculoskeletal Therapy is designed to treat the muscles and skeletal system using various soft tissue and mobilisation techniques.
Musculoskeletal therapy may help prevent and alleviate pain, enhance movement and function and help in maintaining the functional alignment of the skeletal system.
A Musculoskeletal Therapist uses hands-on techniques to alleviate and treat a variety of symptoms, which include sporting injuries and restricted range of movement; and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, arthritis, lower back, neck and joint pain.
Clients are provided with a holistic assessment of their condition and may be prescribed a range of bespoke treatment plans to help restore them to their physical best. The techniques used are varied, and can include:
- myofascial release;
- muscle energy and neuromuscular techniques;
- trigger point therapy;
- neural stretching;
- dry needling;
- cupping;
- lymphatic drainage; and
- pregnancy massage.
Additional holistic methods include:
- a program of gentle exercise or stretching;
- evaluating diet and nutrition;
- postural correction and realignment;
- promoting lifestyle changes and awareness.
