Myotherapy at activate body noosaville

Myotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy dedicated to assessing, treating, and rehabilitating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This hands-on approach employs various techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, dry needling, stretching, and joint mobilisation, to alleviate muscle pain, enhance movement, and restore function.

Personalised Treatment Plans
Myotherapists focus on identifying the root cause of pain or tightness and develop tailored treatment plans. These plans may also incorporate exercise prescription, postural advice, and lifestyle modifications, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your health.

Conditions Treated
Myotherapy is particularly effective for managing chronic pain, sports injuries, muscle strains, and conditions such as tension headaches, lower back pain, and repetitive strain injuries. It can benefit anyone seeking relief from pain or looking to improve overall mobility and physical performance.

Our Specialties Include:

  • Myofascial release focuses on relieving tension in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints. This technique involves gentle stretching and sustained pressure to release fascial restrictions, promoting increased flexibility, pain relief, and improved circulation. Myofascial release can be particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic pain, postural issues, or injuries.

  • Trigger point therapy targets specific tight areas within muscles that can cause referred pain in other areas of the body. By applying direct pressure to these points, myotherapists can help release tension, reduce pain, and enhance muscle function.

  • This technique involves inserting thin needles into trigger points to promote muscle relaxation and pain relief. Dry needling can help stimulate blood flow and encourage healing in tight or injured muscles.

  • This technique involves applying firm pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage is effective for breaking down knots and relieving chronic muscle tension, which can improve overall flexibility and circulation.

  • This hands-on technique involves gently moving joints to restore mobility and reduce stiffness. Joint mobilisation can help improve function and relieve discomfort in areas affected by injury or chronic pain.

  • Myotherapists incorporate both active and passive stretching techniques to improve flexibility and range of motion. Regular stretching can help prevent injury and maintain muscle health.
