Myotherapy
What is Myotherapy? (explained simply)
Myotherapy focuses on the muscles, joints, and soft tissues that are commonly responsible for pain, tightness, and restricted movement.
A Myotherapy session includes:
-
a clear assessment to find what’s causing your symptoms
-
hands-on treatment targeted at the affected area
-
treatment to surrounding tissues that may be compensating
-
strategies to help the area settle
-
optional tools like dry needling, cupping or mobilisation
-
corrective exercises (if useful)
If you’ve ever walked into a physio appointment expecting hands-on treatment and didn’t get it, Myotherapy is exactly what people often look for instead.
Why people choose Myotherapy over Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is fantastic for post-surgical rehab, structured exercise programs and medical management. But many physio clinics don’t offer much hands-on treatment anymore.
People choose Myotherapy when they want:
-
immediate hands-on treatment
-
targeted work on tight or irritated tissues
-
a practical explanation of what’s going on
-
techniques like dry needling, cupping or massage
-
a blend of relief + movement support
-
someone who actually works on the area that hurts
