Improve your range of motion to live a better and healthier life.

Types of
myotherapy
treatments

• MET

  Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a manual therapy that involves the use of gentle muscle contractions in which the patient activates a specific muscle or group of muscles in a certain direction against a precise resistance provided by the therapist. It aids in relieving muscle spasm, strengthen weak muscles and restore range of motion.

• Joint Mobilisation
  This involves gentle oscillations of the joint to improve range of movement and decrease pain.
• Cupping

  Cupping is an ancient technique used to encourage blood flow to the area to increase healing and reduce muscle tension. A slight vacuum is produced in the cups which draws the skin up. There will be marks left on the skin which will subside over a few days.

• Soft tissue treatment
  This includes a range of soft tissue techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and stripping to help break down restricted tissues to enhance mobility and reduce pain.

• Hot/Cold Therapies
  Incorporating ice therapy in your treatment can reduce swelling, inflammation and reduce acute pain. Heat therapy encourages circulation and blood flow which in turn reduces healing time, soothe discomfort and increase muscle flexibility.
• Manual Dry Needling
  This technique uses microscopic needles which are inserted into taut bands of muscle or connective tissues that may be contributing to pain and restricted movement. The purpose of MDN is to decrease local/referred pain by targeting trigger points and in turn restoring neuromuscular function.
• Electrotherapies
  This technique uses an electrical device that sends electrical impulses across the skin to stimulate the nerves and assist to manage muscle weakness, swelling and mid-acute to chronic pain.
• Stretching
  Assisted stretching may be incorporated in your overall treatment plan to increase flexibility in the muscles which help maintain mobility in the joints and reduce stiffness.
• Exercise Prescription
  This is a tailored program for the individual which helps identify areas required to assist in your rehabilitation. For example, your Myotherapist may identify an area of weakness in which an exercise plan is devised to help strengthen that area to restore function.
