Myotherapy

Myotherapy consists of assessing, treating, and managing the pain associated with soft tissue injury and restricted joint mobility which has been caused by myofascia or muscle dysfunction.  Effectively, it is a physical therapy technique that also may be used by massage therapists.  The theory of myotherapy includes myofascial release, that is fascia around muscles that has become stiff and scarred down, however there is no scientific evidence any such thing exists.  Myotherapy treats myofascial pain by mobilizing joints and muscles, helps with sore spots in the muscles, stiffness in the joints, and pins and needles focal sensations.  A “myotherapist” is a fancy name for someone who treats myofascial pain, and most legitimate practitioners avoid chic fad terms such as myotherapist.
