What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy focuses on the muscles, joints, and soft tissues that are commonly responsible for pain, tightness, and restricted movement.

A Myotherapy session includes:

  • a clear assessment to find what's causing your symptoms

  • hands-on treatment targeted at the affected area

  • treatment to surrounding tissues that may be compensating

  • strategies to help the area settle

  • optional tools like dry needling, cupping or mobilisation

  • corrective exercises (if useful)

If you've ever walked into a physio appointment expecting hands-on treatment and didn't get it, Myotherapy is exactly what people often look for instead.

How is Myotherapy different from Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is fantastic for post-surgical rehab, structured exercise programs and medical management. But many physio clinics don't offer much hands-on treatment anymore.

People choose Myotherapy when they want:

  • immediate hands-on treatment

  • targeted work on tight or irritated tissues

  • a practical explanation of what's going on

  • techniques like dry needling, cupping or massage

  • a blend of relief + movement support

  • someone who actually works on the area that hurts

Myotherapists specialise in soft tissue, movement, biomechanics, and hands-on care - making Myo a great choice for pain, tightness, or injury that's coming from muscles or movement patterns.

You're not choosing between 'physio or myo' - you're choosing what style of care suits your body and your goals.
