Myotherapy

The purpose of myotherapy is to treat or prevent muscle and/or myofascial pain that results from dysfunction of soft tissue or joints.

An assessment is done by the myotherapist to pinpoint areas of restriction and pain.  

Then, the trigger points are pressed to release the tension. 

As a result, muscles and restricted pain areas are loosened and healing can begin. 

Symptoms from muscle tissue pain can include: 

• Pain that never goes away
• Tight muscles
• Myofascial trigger points 
• Joint stiffness
• Numbness
• A feeling of pins and needles

A wide range of disorders can be treated with myotherapy, including: 

• Tennis elbow or shin splints
• Some sports injuries
• Tension headache
• Pain from poor posture
• Chronic back pain
• muscle sprains

Acupuncture

With acupuncture, hair-thin needles are inserted under the skin and then activated by gentle, specific movements of the practitioner's hands.

Needles are inserted into meridian or acupuncture points that are believed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. 

In most cases, patients feel little to no pain during needle insertion. Acupuncture can make people feel more energised while others feel more relaxed.

Combining acupuncture with other conventional therapies is an effective treatment for the following conditions:

• Nausea caused by surgery or chemotherapy
• Postoperative dental pain
• Substance abuse
• Headaches, migraines
• Menstrual symptoms
• Tennis elbow
• Fibromyalgia
• Muscle pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Low back pain
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Asthma
• Stroke rehabilitation

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture, which has been called an "acupuncture facelift," can be used as a viable alternative to conventional facelift surgery.

The non-invasive procedure uses acupuncture to improve skin and combat aging. 

Most cosmetic acupuncture treatments require 10 or more sessions, followed by additional sessions to maintain results.

Bowen Therapy

Bowen is a holistic therapy that works on the superficial and deep tissues of the body. 

Sports injuries, chronic or organic conditions, and musculoskeletal or neurological problems can be treated with it. 

A gentle and relaxing technique, it can be used on anyone, both young and old. No forceful manipulation is used, but the treatment is effective for musculoskeletal issues and similar neuromuscular complaints.
