Myotherapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
When you think about treatment options for issues like joint pain, muscle tension, and problems with soft tissue structures, techniques like remedial massage and natural health treatments may spring to mind. But does myotherapy? If not, it may be just what your body has been asking you for!
Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy focused on managing pain and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and the body as a whole. Also used for preventative management, myotherapy aims to increase blood flow, assist with acute or chronic conditions, and relieve the pain associated with issues such as tension headaches. Whether you have a soft tissue injury or even referral pain, myotherapy may be the key to unlocking your rehabilitation journey.
