What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal pain originating from affected muscles, joints and nerves. Myotherapy is an integrated approach towards acute and chronic pain complaints, with the aim of discovering the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. The goal of treatment is to first, reduce the presenting pain, then to restore function/activity.
Is Myotherapy Massage?
There is a common misconception that Myotherapy is remedial massage.
Although graduates may use limited forms of massage as a method of treatment, there are various other modalities that are employed. These include; Dry-needling, joint mobilisation and corrective exercises.
What is Dry-needling?
Dry-needling is a method of treatment that is most often pain-free that utilises fine needles to deactivate areas of contracted muscle. There are various methods of dry-needling which includes superficial dry-needling, where the needles are inserted only to 4mm.
This was discovered by Dr Peter Baldry, a western medical practitioner, the technique is now widely recognised as an effective method of reducing pain and restoring function. There is a great deal of scientific research to support dry-needling, and as a result, is now being embraced worldwide.
