What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a branch of manual medicine which focuses on the treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Myotherapy treats symptoms, relieves pain, and identifies and addresses contributing factors and underlying causes of musculoskeletal conditions. Myotherapy differs from Remedial Massage in that the inclusion of critical evaluation throughout the curriculum contributes to an ability to effectively assess a presenting musculoskeletal condition, identify its causes/contributing factors, and to develop a holistic plan of management that will provide an effective result. Exercise prescription, diet/nutritional measures, postural awareness, as well as hands-on techniques may be employed.
