Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy used to treat or prevent soft tissue pain and restricted joint movement caused by muscle or myofascia dysfunction. (Myofascia are the thin, fibrous sheets of tissue that surround and separate muscles. Ligaments and tendons are comprised of bundled myofascia.)

The philosophy of myotherapy is founded on Western medical principles including anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. You don’t need a referral from a doctor to make an appointment with a myotherapist.

Pain that is caused by muscle tissue or muscle fascia (myofascia) is called myofascial pain. Symptoms can include:

* Deep and constant aching
* Muscle tightness
* Sore spots in the muscle (myofascial trigger points)
* Reduced joint mobility
* Stiff joints
* Numbness
* Recurrent tingling, prickling or ‘pins and needles’ sensation
* Unexplained tiredness.
