What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a registered profession with health fund provider status.

Myotherapy is specifically focused on the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the soft tissue structures of the body such as muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments.

Myotherapy is based on the principles of anatomy and physiology and utilises various techniques to release tension and improve mobility in the muscles and soft tissues. Zoe’s treatments have a strong focus on dry needling which involves the insertion of fine mono filament needles (Acupuncture needles) into the skin and underlying tissues. There are two types of skin piercing therapies. The first is ‘Traditional Chinese Acupuncture’. The second is ‘Dry Needling’ which may also be called ‘Western Acupuncture’ or in some countries ‘Western Medical Acupuncture’. Although they all involve the insertion of needles (acupuncture) each has differences in philosophy, physiology, point location, training pathways and accreditation.

Dry Needling is thought to release muscle tension, reduce pain, promote healing and improve function. Electrotherapy is frequently applied to the needles to enhance their effect.

Dry needling may be included to treat a range of presentations, such as headaches, musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, to alleviate stress and tension, and enhance athletic performance.
