How is Myotherapy Different
to
Remedial Massage?

Both myotherapy and remedial massage can release tension, relieve pain and accelerate your recovery. However, myotherapy requires additional study and takes a more comprehensive look at the underlying cause or dysfunction, with a broader range of treatment techniques.

Your Myotherapist may employ:

  • Soft tissue massage (also used by massage therapists)
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Joint mobilisation
  • Myofascial release
  • Dry needling
  • Cupping
  • Exercise prescription.

Looking for stress relief, relaxation, or to enhance recovery? We recommend booking a session with a remedial massage therapist. Ours are also skilled at pregnancy massage and sports massage.

However, if you’re dealing with chronic pain, a niggling injury or a complex musculoskeletal issue, myotherapy is more beneficial. It is also helpful for postural correction and injury prevention.
