What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy (muscular therapy) is the assessment of muscular injury and dysfunction.
Myotherapy treatments decrease pain and improve physical mobility and ability through improved muscular strength and flexibility, and correct body function.
When one area of your body is out of sync, it can affect other areas.
Benefits of Myotherapy
Everyday activity such as prolonged sitting, bending, lifting and repetitive movements can misalign your back, and cause other areas such as your neck and shoulders to be inflamed.
Our patients seek myotherapy to treat a particular ailment, and complete their treatment as a more energetic, stronger and happier person.
What to expect at your treatment
In your initial consultation we strive to gain an understanding of relevant lifestyle factors which may have contributed to your discomfort, including occupational, recreational such as activities, diet and past injuries.
A physical assessment is conducted to determine which treatment is most suitable for your condition.
SPORTS INJURIES
Sprains and strains are some of the most common injuries seen among athletes.
This is generally due to the high intrinsic demands we put on our bodies to compete. External factors also influence these types of injures such as; Being tackled, Uneven playing surface, Landing poorly.
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle, Knee and Wrist Sprains are very common.
A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Back and hamstring muscle strains are extremely common.
