Myotherapy
Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction that affects movement, mobility, posture, and overall physical performance. It focuses on identifying and treating muscular and soft tissue conditions that may be contributing to pain, stiffness, reduced flexibility, and movement restrictions.
At Bodyworkx Clinic, our myotherapy treatments are tailored to each individual to help relieve pain, restore function, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery and injury prevention.
Muscular dysfunction can develop from a variety of causes, including:
- Sports injuries and physical activity
- Occupational and workplace strain
- Poor posture and repetitive movements
- Muscle overload and overuse
- Trauma and accidents
- Stress and muscular tension
- Chronic pain conditions
- Reduced mobility and movement imbalances
When the body experiences injury or stress, muscles often act as a protective mechanism to help stabilise and protect surrounding joints, discs, ligaments, and bones. This can cause muscles to tighten, spasm, or become restricted, limiting movement and potentially contributing to joint stiffness, nerve irritation, and ongoing pain. Addressing the muscular component of an injury is often an important part of the recovery process.
