Remedial Massage involves the practice of assessing and manipulating the soft tissue of the body such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia. The pressure applied may range from gentle to firm with the main aim being to encourage softening and tension release of the targeted tissue.

Myotherapy is an advanced form of remedial massage, that helps treat and manage pain with particular focus on releasing trigger points located in soft tissue such as muscles and surrounding connective tissue called fascia. Treatments to reduce discomfort are a combination of: • trigger point release • massage • a variety of other techniques

For treatment, I may use techniques such as:

  • Deep tissue massage, depth measured to comfort level of the client.

  • Trigger point therapy measured to comfort level of the client.

  • Myofascial release, using hands, fingers, elbows, and knuckles.

Treatments are adapted to exclude any techniques you may be uncomfortable with.

Although some techniques have the potential to produce some discomfort, feedback is encouraged at any time during the treatment, to ensure the techniques being used are employed only with the client’s consent.

 

Myotherapy

Myofascial Trigger Points are sensitive focal points with associated pain referral zones and are found mainly in muscles and their surrounding fascia, and sometimes in ligaments.

They often develop because of muscles are being overused or overloaded during exercise, from incorrect posture, or during recovery from injury.

Benefits

Myotherapy has similar benefits to remedial massage, but with particular focus on:

  • Reducing pain
  • Improving range of motion of muscles and joints
  • Restoring muscle balance and dynamics

Conditions Treated

Having emerged as a more specialized form of remedial massage, myotherapy is used to treat a similar range of conditions.

Such as:

  • Neck and shoulder pain and tightness
  • Back pain
  • Chronic muscle pain
  • Pain from slouching and poor posture
  • Musculoskeletal headaches
  • Soft tissue sprains
  • Some types of joint pain and restriction
  • Sport injuries
  • Muscle pain and restriction from overuse.
  • Pain management of conditions such as fibromyalgia.

Treatment procedure

After taking your medical history and performing visual, movement and palpation assessments related to the area of complaint, a proposed treatment is discussed, and consent given.

For treatment, I may use techniques such as:

  • Myofascial release massage using hands, fingers, elbows, and knuckles.
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Suction cupping
  • Muscle energy technique (MET)
  • Passive stretching
  • Gua sha
  • Manual lymph drainage
  • Thermotherapy e.g. moxibustion
  • Corrective or rehabilitation exercise

Treatments are adapted to exclude any techniques you may be uncomfortable with. Although some techniques have the potential to produce some discomfort, feedback is encouraged at any time during the treatment, and at no point should you experience unmanageable pain.
