It’s the next generation in massage and body work. Myotherapy is a form of massage based physical therapy. It’s main purpose is to treat, and prevent muscle pain and restricted joint movement. Myotherapy treatment mainly focuses on the health os muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendons.

Myotherapy treatment can include:

• Massage

• Cupping

• Medical Acupunture

• Myofacial work

• Corrective Exercises

• Stretching

• K-Tape

• Electrotherapy Acupunture

Treatment is directed at the fascia or soft tissue component of our connective tissue, which includes the muscles, ligaments and tendons.

These forms of tissue provide the crucial support and protection for the internal organs and structures of the body, and if stimulated in the appropriate way can promote healing of the nervous, skeletal and circulatory systems, amongst others.

Techniques used are soft tissue manipulation/ deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, medical acupuncture, myofascial release, cupping, k-taping, electroacupuncture, postural assessment and correction, corrective exercises (stretches, strength), core stability exercises. These techniques will be used in to ease tight muscles, reduce pressure on joints, relieve pain and improve range you're of movement.

Myofascial Release focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that supports the body's structure, including the musculoskeletal system. When the fascia tightens due to injury, inflammation, or trauma, it can cause pain and limit movement. This technique aims to release the fascia, restoring normal function by applying slow, strong glides to restricted areas. It can help with chronic pain, postural imbalances, headaches, and stress-related conditions.

The most effective technique for you will depend on your specific condition at the time of your visit. Unlike other spas that charge extra for advanced techniques like deep tissue or Shiatsu, I include these in my standard pricing. You only need to decide the length of your session. After discussing your issues, I will determine the best techniques to use. You can also request a specific treatment type and confirm in advance if I specialize in that technique.

Most people feel relief. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial treatment you can feel slightly tender for 24-48 hours this can be reduced with stretching and heat or ice. If you experience tenderness longer than 48 hours please contact your myotherapist to answer any questions you may have.

After the first 48 hours following your treatment, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. It is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.

Myotherapy is not painful. I will work within your threshold, if you feel uncomfortable at any point then let me know straight away. I want you to be in control of your body and speak up if there is anything you are not comfortable with in your session.

Our treatments are designed to release chronic muscular tension and pain, enhance circulation, boost joint flexibility, and reduce both mental and physical fatigue. They also promote faster healing of injured muscles, improve posture, and lower blood pressure. Additionally, you may experience better sleep, improved concentration, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of well-being.
