WHAT IS
MYOTHERAPY
The term ‘myo’ translates to ‘muscle’, so Myotherapy simply means muscle therapy. Similar to Remedial Massage, there is a heavy focus on soft tissue and correcting any pains and ailments you may be facing. Many Myotherapists incorporate massage as part of their treatment, but can also offer a range of other modalities to aid you back to optimal functioning.
Some of the modalities that a Myotherapist may offer include:
-
Manual Dry Needling
-
Myofascial Cupping
-
Kiniesiology Taping
-
Corrective Exercise Prescription
-
Thermotherapy/Cryotherapy
