WHAT IS MYOTHERAPY?
Clinical Myotherapy aims to provide wholistic assessment, diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of muscular, neural and joint conditions that may arise from any sporting, overuse or workplace injuries. It also treats acute and chronic conditions such as migraines or sciatica.
A Clinical Myotherapist will use a wide range of treatment techniques including soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, dry needling, cupping and exercise prescription, just to name a few.
At Melbourne Osteopathy Sports Injury Centre, our Myotherapists work in conjunction with other practitioners with the sole purpose of providing effective and efficient tailor made treatment programs. In addition to short-term pain relief, our aim is to also assist you in achieving any individual long-term health and lifestyle goals.
