Myotherapy comes from the latin word “myo” meaning muscle. However over the years it has expanded to include not only muscle but joint, tendons, nerves and bone dysfunctions. Myotherapy involves assessing, diagnosing, treating and managing musculoskeletal conditions. These conditions can often cause pain and/or dysfunction which may affect normal movement and mobility.
Remedial massage treats muscle, tendon and joint dysfunctions using a variety of techniques. It is about assessing a patient’s condition, devising a treatment plan, applying it and attempting to improve it to a point where it can be managed.
Cupping is generally thought to have originated from China however it has actually been traced to the Egyptians dating as far back as 1500bc. Cupping can help ease tight and painful muscles. It is normally used in conjunction with massage and other techniques.
Dry needling is called “dry” as the needle it uses is solid and hence is not used to inject a fluid. Through various trials and subsequent applications it has shown to be an effective method to release tight and contracted points in muscles.
