Myotherapy Gold Coast – Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy used to treat or prevent soft tissue pain and restricted joint movement caused by muscle or myofascia dysfunction. Myofascia are the thin, fibrous sheets of tissue that surround and separate muscles. Ligaments and tendons are comprised of bundled myofascia.
The philosophy of myotherapy is founded on Western medical principles including anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. You don’t need a referral from a doctor to make an appointment with a myotherapist.
You can now experience quality massage at our Coomera clinic. All massage treatments are performed by qualified and professional myotherapists.
Myotherapy can be used to treat a wide range of disorders including:
Overuse injury such as tennis elbow or shin splints
Some sports injuries
Tension headache
Pain caused by poor posture
Some types of chronic back pain
Some types of joint pain, such as shoulder impingement syndrome
Muscle sprains.
