Myotherapy is the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management of muscle pain and related soft tissue conditions. Myotherapy is used to treat a wide range of soft tissue conditions from sporting or occupational injuries to postural conditions, chronic neuromuscular disorders, and the pain associated with muscular overuse, misuse or disuse. Myotherapy may also be beneficial in the prevention of injuries.

 

What do Myotherapists do?

 

A Myotherapist may use a variety of treatment modalities including:


  • Soft tissue manipulation

  • Myofascial stretching

  • Thermal therapy

  • Myofascial dry needling

  • Electrical stimulation (TENS)

  • Corrective exercises.


With the combination of tactile skill, anatomical knowledge and clinical understanding, Myotherapists can ascertain where there are abnormalities in muscles and connective tissues, enabling them to determine the most appropriate and effective therapeutic techniques for treatment.

 

Education is also integral to Myotherapy treatment, engaging patients in the recovery process, and assisting in the prevention of future injuries. 

What is Dry Needling?

 

Myofascial dry needling has a focus on musculoskeletal injuries and is employed as a specialist tool to augment soft tissue skills. 

 

Dry needling involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into active trigger points (hypertonic muscle lesions) to bring relief to pain, resolve musculoskeletal pain patterns associated with the specific points and restore freedom of movement. Stimulation of trigger points using dry needling can de-sensitise these points and associated referral pain areas, promoting healing and enhancing the production of endorphins.

 

Dry needling is able to be used to treat conditions such as:


  • Joint pain

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Inflammatory conditions including tendonitis and disc pain

  • Headache and migraine

  • Post-surgical conditions

  • Back pain

  • Acute and chronic trigger point pain.
