What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a form of manual therapy which focuses on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of neuro-musculoskeletal pain and associated pathologies.It involves a physical evaluation and an integrated therapeutic approach to affected muscles, joints, nerves, and associated viscera (organs) and is used in the treatment of acute or chronic conditions and in preventative management. Whether you’re an athlete, a fitness/sporting enthusiast, suffering from an acute or chronic injury or condition, or want to maintain general health and wellbeing, we offer you treatment that’s holistic and geared towards having the best long-term results
Myotherapy Techniques & Modalities:
Cupping | Myofascial Cupping | Active Release Cupping
Various cupping techniques are used to release rigid soft tissue, drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, and lift connective tissue, while bringing blood flow & lymphatic circulation to stagnant skin and muscles providing pain management
The pulling force of the suction places a specific stretch on the muscle, and when massaged with a cup, elongates the muscles and breaks down adhesions in the tissue. In areas of tissue dysfunction, this technique may occasionally leave a temporary mark.
The marks experienced after a cupping session can last anywhere from 3-7 days. The bruises are not caused due to any form of blunt trauma. Therefore, they should not hurt. Over a course of treatments, marks lighten as tissue health improves.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique that uses a thin filiform needle to stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.
Dry-needling of these myofascial trigger points via mechanical stimulation causes an analgesic effect. This mechanical stimulation causes a local twitch response (LTR). An LTR is an involuntary spinal cord reflex contraction of the muscle fibers in a taut band.
Taut bands are produced as a normal protective, physiological measure in the presence of actual or potential muscle damage. They are thought to occur in response to unaccustomed eccentric or concentric loading, sustained postures and repetitive low load stress. However when sustained they contribute to sustained pain.
Taping
Kinesio Taping has a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin and between the many layers. This allows the by-products created by inflammation to be removed more quickly also decompressing an area of swelling and inflammation. Based on the same physical lifting principle, kinesiology taping can be very effective in the reduction of lymphoedema.
Pain Relief: Taping relieves pain through different mechanism. These could be grouped as either physical or neurological mechanisms.
Physically, the lifting action of the kinesiology tape relieves pressure on pain receptors directly under the skin, allowing for both immediate and lasting relief.
Chronic pain can be improved via the sensory stimulation of other types of nerve fibres. In thse circumstance, kinesiology tape may be effective for pain that persists after an injury has healed or for pain that is above and beyond the injury severity.
Kinesiology tapes unique elasticity provides passive support to weak or injured muscles. This can assist everyday activities, high level sport or even low tone children.

Tesla EMS Muscle Definer and muscle recovery.
Tesla EMS Body Sculpting uses electric currents and heat, to replicate a muscle contraction and in turn assist with injury prevention and recovery.
It is the only treatment that uses HI-EMT technology to target hard-to-build muscle. This energy causes supramaximal muscular contractions, which cannot be done through voluntary exercise.
One 30 minute session is equivelant to 30,000 muscular contractions or 5.5hrs of intensive exercise. There is no pain or down time. Feel stronger and tone up fast! We recommended 2 sessions weekly for optimum results.
What can Tesla Body Sculpt be used for?
Muscle imbalances: to activate core abdominals, glutes, quads, hamstrings, shoulders, or any muscle, to either prevent injury or used post injury/surgery, to regain muscle strength.
To reduce the risk of muscle atrophy post injury.
Post pregnancy:
Diastasis Recti is a condition that affects a significant number of women after they give birth. The abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy, and this can cause the abdomen to round. Tesla Body Sculpt is a treatment that can help with Diastasis Recti. A series of treatments can help tighten the core and improve the abdomen’s appearance. It may even help reverse some pregnancy-induced alterations. Forceful muscular contractions are created using specialised Electromagnetic Stimulation. When the body is subjected to these intense contractions, the muscles begin to adapt and repair their internal structure. This can result in a significant improvement in the appearance of the abdomen. Please note Tesla Body Sculpt cannot be used whilst breastfeeding.
How can Tesla Body Sculpt aid in a Myotherapy or Massage treatment:
Often people feel pain, due to some form of muscle imbalance.
Tesla Body Sculpt can help assist with these imbalances, by helping to strengthen the weaker muscles, and may help aid a quicker recovery time e.g. Post ACL surgery.
With the correct rehab, deactivation of overactive muscles (thru manual therapy and self-myofascial release), As Tesla Body Sculpt assists in muscle strengthening, it can be a great addition to a myotherapy treatment.
