 Myotherapists assess and physically treat myofascial pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility. Myotherapy is applied in the preventative, corrective and rehabilitative phases of therapy to restore and maintain the normal integrity of the soft tissue structure (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) of the human body. Pain or symptoms caused by muscle (myo) or fascia is described as myofascial. Myofascial pain is usually not specific and is often described by the patient as a 'deep ache', 'tightness' or 'tenderness' in an area. It can vary in intensity and radiate to other areas. Other symptoms can include reduced range of motion of muscles and joints, stiffness, fatigue, weakness, numbness or a tingling sensation. There are many other symptoms depending on the condition and patients can have one or many symptoms.

 Remedial massage is a system of manipulation of the soft tissues of the body with the hands. For thousands of years it was the principal method of treating musculoskeletal problems. It produces both physical and psychological benefits. It can be used as an injury preventative technique as well as a treatment for injury. Massage works on many different levels and it is the unique way in which it combines the various benefits to suit the individual that makes it such a versatile and effective treatment method. The benefits of remedial massage include improved circulation, reduced soft tissue swelling (where present), the break down of scar tissue after injury, reduced muscle tension or spasm and a general feeling of well-being. The process of remedial massage is deeper than relaxing massage and therefore the benefits are usually greater.

How do your feet affect your posture?Your feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run. And they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.
