Clinical Myotherapy is a therapy that diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal disorders such as spinal pain or acute injuries.
Myotherapy takes a history to understand the underlying causes of your pain.
Then the Myo can use a range of orthopaedic testing to determine the diagnosis, and therefore help reduce your pain.
Techiques such as Massage, Dry needling, Cupping and joint mobilisations allow you to get back optimal health
The Dry Needle ( more like a pin ) inserts deep into the muscle to stimulate the following effects on the muscle and nervous system
-
Increasing blood flow to facilitate healing
-
Decrease pain through down regulation of the nervous system
-
Recruit healing and immune cells to the area
-
Stimulate new growth of muscle cells
All of the above works to increase mobility and decrease your pain

Cupping therapy involves heating the air inside a glass cup, which removes some of the air from the cup. The cup is then quickly placed on the skin, and the resulting vacuum pulls the skin part of the way into the cup. The cup may be left in place for several minutes and then removed, leaving behind a bright red, circular mark.
This will:
stimulate blood flow, healing responses, immune systems, and muscle tension release
