About Clinical Myotherapy
Clinical Myotherapy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the assessment, treatment and diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries, conditions, diseases, aches and/or pains. Through the use of orthopedic tests, palpation, postural assessment and questioning where we are able to determine the origin of your musculoskeletal issue and treat it accordingly with, but not limited to soft tissue manipulation, cupping, dry needling, joint mobilization, prescription exercises and stretches. From this physical examination we are able to determine a management plan tailored to your specific needs to achieve normal as possible functional movement reducing pain and aches as much as possible. After a treatment the practitioner may give you strengthening or stretching exercises to perform at home depending on ability and the specific needs you as a patient may need.

Myotherapy specializes in the deactivation of myofascial trigger points, which are hyperirritable nodules found within the muscles giving arise to referral pain patterns (pain located in a specific area, yet the origin is located somewhere else), pain on certain movements and/or actions, other associated symptoms and aches.
