Providing Professional and Caring Treatment Since 2004
Myotherapy is a manual therapy which assesses, treats and rehabilitates clients from muscular dysfunction, pain and associated issues. The term myotherapy was originally used to describe a trigger point therapy which was developed in the 1970s. It had been adapted from Dr Travell and Simons research that suggested the cause of many pain issues arising in the body were due to myofascial trigger points (knots).
In recent years myotherapy has moved into a more medical treatment modalityand is regarded as an allied health discipline which is practiced in many countries across the world and respected within the western medical idustry.
Myotherapy incorporates many soft tissue remedial massage techniques and also muscle energy technique, dry needling, and joint mobilisation, ultrasound. Myotherapists also use stretching, nutritional advice, exercise prescription, postural advice and education, heat and cold therapy, ultrasound and TENS.

Myofascial pain is described as chronic pain affecting the connective tissues (fascia) of a muscle or group of muscles. People suffering from such pain describe it as “tenderness”, “deep ache” or “tightness” in a specific area. Other symptoms associated with myofascial pain are numbness, fatigue, reduced range of motion of affected muscles and joints, weakness, and stiffness. Myofascial pain can arise from a range of situations such as misuse of muscles, trauma, incorrect posture, overload, or an injury. In case you experience any of the above-mentioned signs and symptoms and the pain is persistent in nature and non-responsive to pain-killers, it is best to visit Myotherapy Melbourne.
Our Myotherapists working at Myotherapy Melbourne are highly experienced in correctly assessing and effectively managing the myofascial pain, particularly when this impacts mobility, movement, and every day function. Here are 5 things that suggest that it would be beneficial to visit Myotherapy Melbourne:
Whenever you feel that a particular muscle of your body has become very sensitive or tender and you feel the pain as soon as you touch it.
Patients suffering from myofascial pain usually report a reduced range of motion. This is quite understandable as the affected muscles are more likely to become chronically tight.
You might also feel regionalised aching/burning//numbness and pain in the affected muscles and joints. This happens because the blood supply to these muscles gets affected due to swelling.
Patients suffering from myofascial pain may also experience poor sleep patterns with decreased recovery sleep.
Patients with chronic myofascial pain may also feel weakness in the affected muscle.
You do not need to live with myofascial pain, visit us at Myotherapy Melbourne to discover how myotherapy can help you return back to your normal life.
A Myotherapy session during the winter season will not only improve your blood circulation, it will also keep your muscles warm and prevent muscle aching and injury. Regular supply of fresh blood to the muscles is very essential during the cold days and nights, regular massage can help by enhancing the blood flow and body warmth.
During a Myotherapy session, your Myotherapist give you some stretching exercises to perform at home. These stretching exercises will not only aid in relieving aching muscles; they will also enhance the blood flow throughout the muscles and maintain you between sessions.
