A question we get asked almost every day. What is the difference and which therapist do I need to see?
Both Remedial Massage Therapists & Myotherapists provide a comprehensive manual therapy for the treatment of soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management.
THE DIFFERENCE:
REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPY is a comprehensive manual therapy performed on non-specific injuries or a pre-diagnosed pathology to provide relief from pain & improve movement, whether it be a chronic pain complaint, postural related muscle tightness or simply to relax.
MYOTHERAPY is a comprehensive manual therapy targeting THE CAUSE OF PAIN. Involving a thorough assessment and applying massage & an additional range modalities including (but not limited to) Dry Needling, Cupping, Mobilisation Techniques, TENS (just to name a few modalities) + Exercise Prescription & general Nutritional advice.
Both have an aim to return the body to normal/optimal health.
