MYOTHERAPY
Myotherapy is a 'hands on' treatment used to treat and prevent musculoskeletal pain, injury and restricted movement. A Myotherapist will assess and treat an injury or dysfunction using a range of modalities with the aim of restoring movement, reducing pain and returning the body to its optimal balance.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Myofascial release is a slow form of massage, usually done without any lubricant. Gentle, constant pressure is applied to loosen and lengthen tightness in the fascia. It also works to break down adhesions between tissues. The aim of MFR is to relax tight muscles, improve the lymphatic & circulatory systems as well as encouraging the stretch reflex.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Trigger point therapy involves applying direct pressure to specified points on the muscle to release muscle tension and pain. These hyper irritable spots in your muscles are what we sometimes refer to as 'knots'. Your myotherapist may also use stretching during trigger point therapy to increase the release and retrain the muscle so the problem doesn't continue.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Remedial Massage is a therapeutic type of massage used to prevent and manage soft tissue injuries and complaints. Although it's generally firmer in pressure there is also a relaxation component to it. Remedial Massage aims to treat not only the symptoms of a condition but the original cause aswell.
DRY NEEDLING
Dry Needling is a procedure where we insert a thin acupuncture needle into a triggerpoint in the muscle. Along with relieving muscle tension dry needling can also aid in speeding up tissue healing and restoring normal muscucle function.
PREGNACY MASSAGE
Pregnancy Massage assists in alleviating a wide variety of discomforts often experienced during pregnancy as a result of significant postural and hormonal changes. Treatment can help with symptoms such as hip pain, limb swelling, pelvic pain and calf cramps just to name a few. We are equiped to treat women throughout the entire stage of pregnancy.
