If you’re looking for effective methods to tackle musculoskeletal issues and experience a pain-free life, myotherapy and dry needling could be beneficial options for you.

Myotherapy, a form of physical therapy, focuses on addressing muscle tissue and fascial restrictions in the body. It uses remedial massage techniques and a personalised exercise plan to help you achieve long-lasting improvements in your condition.

The main goal is to address the underlying causes of musculoskeletal challenges, empowering individuals to overcome their current issues and avoid future recurrences.

From athletes to individuals with chronic pain, myotherapy benefits a wide range of individuals seeking a path to pain-free living.

Your therapist might also suggest dry needling as an option during the treatment. The technique uses tiny, sterile needles inserted into specific muscles to improve movement and reduce pain.

Remember, the decision to try dry needling is made together with your therapist and is optional. They will make sure it is safe and helpful for your treatment if you choose to have it.

A typical myotherapy treatment (initial consultation) usually includes -

●       Collecting patient medical history and information on their pain points

●       Conducting physical assessments to further understand the issue and to discover its underlying causes

●       A hands-on treatment using remedial massage techniques and tools to address the issue

●       The therapist prescribes the patient exercise movements to do on their own

Although this is what a typical session looks like, some patients may benefit more from a movement-basedsession.

A movement-based session will have the patient performing exercise that activates muscles and move joints to free up areas that may be stiff and tight, which may be the cause of the pain points. However, each session is expected to be quite personalised as every individual usually presents their pain concerns differently.
