Are you currently experiencing excruciating muscular or joint pain? Have you felt like no matter what treatments and therapies you try the pain just keeps reoccurring? Well maybe it is time you tried Myotherapy to help relieve you of these aches and pains.

Myotherapy is a specialised type of therapy used to cure deep muscle and joint pain. Dr. Janet Travel, an American physician, discovered that muscles when placed under much stress and strain tend to form trigger points that result in localized pain. We commonly refer to these deep muscular aches as knots. These trigger points can result not only in excruciating pain in the localized areas but they can also affect your motor movements. Myotherapy can be used to treat numerous conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, migraines and back pain to name but a few.

Myotherapy is based on a combination of different treatment procedures that are all used to target the trigger point and alleviate pain. A myotherapist is trained to use these techniques to help treat the problem. Some of the various therapies used by the myotherapist include deep tissue massages, ischaemic compression, cupping, dry needling, and rehabilitative exercises. This very comprehensive form of therapy ensures that you are targeting the key problem and using a wide range of treatments to overcome the physical pain and damage caused by these trigger points. Having a wide array of treatment options also ensures that you get a very personalized treatment plan according to what your individual need is. A myotherapist will be able to draw up a special treatment plan for you to help you target the specific muscle that are causing the pain.

Since Myotherapy draws upon numerous different techniques and therapy practices, it is different from massage therapy. It is a much more integrated approach to curing muscular pain caused by trigger points. Unlike massage therapy or any other individual form of therapy Myotherapy is a combination of different therapies.

If you are looking for a myotherapist to help you with your muscle pain make sure that they are registered myotherapist. In Australia it is best if the myotherapist is a member of the Institute of Registered Myotherapists of Australia. It might also help to get some background information about the myotherapist so that you know what their area of expertise is. Look for gyms that have trained registered myotherapist.
