What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a hands-on, manual physical therapy that concentrates on treating and preventing soft tissue pain and restricted joint mobility. Muscular and soft tissue pain can be caused by dysfunctional movement of the muscles, joints, soft tissues and surrounding myofascial.
Myofascia is the thin, fibrous sheet of tissue that surrounds and separates each muscle and organ. Ligaments and muscles are also made up of many bundles of myofascial fibres.
Couple your myotherapy sittings with a therapeutic massage designed to target problem areas within more in-depth appointments. Or immerse yourself in the sensory deprivation tank, a saltwater pod full that affects weightlessness and gives you a whole-body experience. Treat into your mind and ignore the stress of the outside world.
To book these treatments or see a myotherapy expert, please get in touch with New You Chiropractic. With a range of appointment times and experts available during the day and into the evening, we’ll be able to find an appointment time that suits your plan.
Increase your soft tissue and musculoskeletal health by reducing knots, adhesions and fibrous tissue from your muscles and connective tissues.
