Doncaster Osteopathic Clinic & Wellness Centre

MYOTHERAPY is the assessment, treatment and management of muscular and joint conditions. These conditions may cause muscular dysfunction. You would recognise this by pain affecting movement and mobility in your every day activities or specific exercises that you may do.

WHAT DOES A MYOTHERAPIST DO?

A Myotherapy consultation will typically commence with thorough history taking followed
by the necessary muscle, joint and neurological testing for your condition. Combined with manual palpation of muscles and joints, a Myotherapist aims to identify the cause of your complaint, treat the pain, and minimize the likelihood of the injury reoccur ring by strengthening and stabilizing the area.

MYOTHERAPISTS TREAT THE CAUSE AS WELL AS THE SYMPTOMS OF A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS.

THIS CAN INCLUDE:

• Neck & back pain
• Sciatica
• Postural problems
• Numbness and tingling
• Headaches / Migraines
• Chronic overuse (RSI)
• Joint pains (frozen shoulder; tennis elbow; etc)
• General fitness

WHAT TREATMENT TECHNIQUES DOES A MYOTHERAPIST USE?

Myotherapists use various soft tissue massage and manipulation techniques together with
dry needling, cupping, stretching and corrective exercises. All modalities are used with the intention to restore and maintain the normal integrity of soft tissue structures.

WHEN SHOULD I SEE A MYOTHERAPIST?

Myotherapy can be used to treat the above conditions but also for prevention of injuries and maintenance of an improved quality of life. You should see a Myotherapist when your pain is persistent or when you are suffering from reduced range of movement.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE is available (including Saturday's and Sunday's) to restore and recharge your tightness, stress and well-being - or for rehabilitation and sports management.
