Myotherapy Mornington

Mt Eliza Chiropractic Clinic offers Myotherapy to residents of Mornington and nearby communities – Somerville, Frankston, Langwarrin and Baxter.

An Introduction to Myotherapy

Myotherapy MorningtonMyotherapy is a form of physical therapy focused on the treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. While often compared to massage, myotherapy goes beyond a simple massage, addressing the deeper causes of pain through a variety of techniques such as manual therapy, trigger point therapy, dry needling, and corrective exercises. These modalities aim to release tension in the muscles, improve joint mobility, and alleviate myofascial pain, which is discomfort originating from the muscles and connective tissue.

By focusing on the sources of muscle pain, myotherapy may promote better movement and function throughout the body. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing long-standing pain, myotherapy offers personalised care to help you regain and maintain good physical health. It’s frequently used to address issues like lower back discomfort, headaches, shoulder tightness, and injuries related to sport.

Adopting Myotherapy as part of a comprehensive health approach may help optimise your recovery. It works to alleviate muscle tension, enhance blood flow, and improve flexibility, all contributing to a potentially faster and more effective recovery. Whether used in isolation or alongside other therapeutic options, Myotherapy is important for managing pain, enhancing movement, and maintaining long-term musculoskeletal health.

How Frequently Should I Have Myotherapy?

If you are also seeing a chiropractor near Mornington, this may be discussed as part of your overall health plan. Typically, one session per month is recommended, but this can vary depending on your condition and the specific reasons for seeking therapy. Some people may require more frequent treatment, especially if they are managing ongoing pain or injury.

It’s worth noting that you don’t have to be in discomfort to visit a Mornington Myotherapist. Even when symptoms have subsided or are absent, the treatment can focus on prevention – lowering the chances of future pain or injuries, reducing stress, enhancing flexibility, and helping you maintain your overall well-being.

Common Myotherapy Techniques

Myotherapy primarily focuses on soft tissue massage, but it encompasses a wide range of techniques tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Beyond traditional massage, a Mornington Myotherapist may incorporate myofascial acupuncture (also known as dry needling), which involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Trigger point pressure release is another common technique, applying focused pressure to tight or knotted areas within muscles to reduce pain and restore mobility.

Other methods involve deep tissue massage, which focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to relieve long-standing tension and discomfort, along with passive and resisted stretching to boost flexibility and enhance movement. Heat and cold therapy (thermal therapy) can help to reduce inflammation, ease sore muscles, and support healing. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) may also be used to reduce pain via electrical impulses, alongside corrective exercises to strengthen weak muscles, improve posture, and minimise the risk of future injury.

Cupping is frequently utilised in Myotherapy, using specialised cups placed on the skin to create a suction effect. This technique boosts blood flow, alleviates muscle tightness, and supports healing in the targeted regions.

Our Mornington myotherapists combine these methods to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique therapeutic requirements, whether you’re in the process of recovery, coping with chronic pain, or looking for preventative care.
