About

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

Being an advanced form of remedial massage, myotherapy has similar benefits but with particular focus on:

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

Conditions Treated

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
