Treat Musculoskeletal Conditions With Myotherapy

Myotherapy is a type of physical therapy that focuses on assessing, treating, and managing a range of musculoskeletal conditions. While doing some activities people experience discomfort, this discomfort can turn to pain and gradually results in less movement, muscle tension, pain, and weakness. Exercise helps in improving a person's health but if done incorrectly, it can cause injuries and muscle damages. Myotherapy not only helps in treating the problem, but also provides maintenance treatment to reduce the chances of it reoccurring. Myotherapy is effective in treating a variety of muscle or tendon issues such as,

Shin splints
Chronic back pain
Tennis elbow
Joint pain
Golfers elbow
Pain caused by poor posture
Muscle sprains

During the initial meet up, myotherapist will ask several questions related to the injury and the pain. Also check the medical history to understand the overall severity and create a treatment plan that best suits the patient. Depending upon the condition, myotherapists may include treatment techniques such as, Deep tissue massage, Myofascial release, Dry needling, and Corrective exercises. The main aim of myotherapy is to restore and maintain the normal integrity of the soft tissue structure.
