What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a physical therapy used to assess, treat musculoskeletal pain and pathologies.
Myotherapy treatments are designed to restore and improve joint and muscle function whilst incorporating modalities such as deep tissue work, dry needling, cupping, joint mobilisation and exercise prescription.
A major aspect of your positive outcome will be learning to understand your injury and/or pain. Many acute and chronic pain-causing conditions can be assisted by using hands-on remedial techniques, great advice, and handy tips for self-management that you may not have considered or been offered previously.
We take several techniques into account during your treatment session. These include:
- Deep tissue massage
- Trigger point therapy
- Dry Needling
- Cupping
- Mobilisation and Stretching
- Myofascial Tension Technique
- Functional Movement
- Functional Taping
- Sports Taping

- headaches/migraines, tension-type headaches
- neck pain/whiplash injuries
- shoulder impingements/tendonitis/bursitis/rotator cuff tears/instability syndrome
