💪 What Is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a targeted physical therapy that assesses, treats, and manages musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It focuses on restoring the normal function of soft tissues muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia—using a range of evidence-based techniques.

Myotherapists are trained to identify and treat trigger points, which are tight bands within muscles that can cause:

• Deep, aching pain
• Local tenderness
• Referred pain
• Reduced strength and flexibility

Using skilled palpation and manual therapy, Myotherapists deactivate these trigger points and help relieve pain, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.

 

🧠 What Causes Muscular Dysfunction?

Muscular dysfunction can result from:

• Injury or trauma
• Overuse or repetitive strain
• Poor posture
• Occupational or sporting activities
• Stress and inactivity

These issues can lead to chronic pain, restricted movement, and reduced quality of life.

 

🩺 What to Expect in a Myotherapy Consultation

A session with Sam begins with a thorough assessment, including:

• Muscle and joint examination
• Neurological testing
• Manual palpation to identify areas of dysfunction

Sam’s goal is to pinpoint the root cause of your pain and deliver effective, lasting relief.

🔍 What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s ideal for:

• Chronic tension (e.g., stiff neck, sore shoulders, tight lower back)
• Trigger point release
• Improved circulation and healing

Unlike relaxation massage, deep tissue work involves slower strokes and firmer pressure to break down adhesions—rigid bands that restrict movement and cause pain.

 

❓ Does Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?

Some discomfort is normal during deep tissue massage, especially when working on tight or injured areas. Always communicate with your therapist if the pressure is too intense. Mild soreness may occur afterward but typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Applying heat can help soothe the area.

 

🧘‍♀️ Conditions Treated with Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is commonly used for:

• Chronic pain and tension
• Limited mobility
• Injury recovery (e.g., whiplash, sports injuries)
• Repetitive strain (e.g., carpal tunnel)
• Postural imbalances
• Osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia
• Muscle spasms and imbalance
• Acute neck pain (e.g., “woke up with a stiff neck”)
• Sports Massage
