Myotherapy
Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions.
Myotherapy requires further study to a Remedial Massage Therapist such as an Advanced Diploma or a Bachelor’s degree. A qualified practitioner can then undertake assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions such as:
Back pain
Neck and shoulder pain
Headache
Sports injuries
Rotator cuff problems
Occupational injuries
Achilles tendinopathy and other ankle injuries
Jaw pain and clicking
Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain presentations
Tennis elbow
What is the difference between Remedial Massage and Myotherapy?
Myotherapy and massage are considered two completely different professions with different aims and objectives.
In conjunction with massage, a Myotherapist may use additional skills such as dry needling, exercise prescription and education about pain management, load management, activity modification and/ or lifestyle modification.
You don’t need to be in pain to visit a Myotherapist. Once symptoms have settled treatment may focus on restoring optimal activity, reducing the likelihood of further injury and keeping you moving and performing at your best.
