Read on to find out how our Professional Myotherapists can help you.
What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy, sometimes known as Musculoskeletal Therapy, is a branch of functional medicine that uses the latest CLINICALLY PROVEN manual therapy techniques and exercises designed to assess and treat the cause of pain – rather than endlessly treating the symptoms.
Myotherapy addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, such as: chronic pain states (including frozen shoulder, bursitis, hip and shoulder impingement, etc), acute or chronic neck and lower back pain that can be associated with poor posture, muscle strain, whiplash, disc degeneration, or radiculopathy.
Our Myotherapists can also treat nerve related pain (Sciatica, Morton’s Neuroma, Carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy and much more), and aid in recovery of tendon and ligament injuries – RSI, ligament sprains, tendinitis (Achilles tendon, rotator cuff, tennis or golfer’s elbow), knee pain and so on.
Additionally our Myotherapy specialists can help you with postural improvement and exercise advice to minimise pain and tension from scoliosis, kyphosis, forward head posture, and other postural imbalances.

What is involved in a treatment?
Initial consultation 60 Minute Session
Your first treatment will include a detailed interview of the health history, including previous injuries and chronic conditions, followed by a comprehensive assessment of the posture and movement, soft tissue structures (muscles, tendons and ligaments), joint mobility, and nervous system function. The therapist will follow up with you via email to check on how you feel after treatment and to check your progress. Your therapist may provide links to exercise videos held on our YouTube channel.
Consecutive Treatments
Follow up treatments may be required depending on your presenting condition, how long you have had the problem and what your goals are. Follow up sessions may vary in length (60, 45, 30 minutes), depending on the treatment techniques required, complexity of the condition, and the number of issues that need to be addressed.
