Myotherapy treatments are beneficial at any point during the corrective, rehabilitative or preventative stage of an injury.  Certainly, if you’ve been experiencing any muscular pain for more than a few days. Symptoms may include a ‘deep ache’, ‘tightness’ or ‘tenderness’ in an area. Other symptoms can include stiffness, tingling or numbness, weakness, fatigue or a decreased range of motion.

Myotherapy treatments are also great as a preventative, with our postural and biomechanical assessments we can ensure you continue to function at an optimum level. We all know the old saying that “prevention is better than cure!” At Optimum Muscular Health we believe that the key to treating effectively is determining the underlying causes of a symptom. Therefore a detailed assessment will be performed which will include the following: A detailed history of your presenting condition, a general medical history and any relevant information regarding occupation, activities or previous injuries. Postural and biomechanical screening of relevant areas. Range of motion and muscle testing An effective hands on treatment will follow, utilising techniques such as muscle manipulation, myofascial release, dry needling, trigger point therapy, active/ passive stretching. A personalised treatment plan will be developed for you outlining treatment, prevention or management of your condition. This may include postural correction, stretches or corrective exercises.
