Myotherapy ('muscle-therapy') is an advanced remedial massage qualification with in-depth assessment and a larger toolkit. Whilst providing symptomatic relief, it is geared towards identifying the cause and finding resolution. Myotherapists are highly trained and must be registered with a nationally recognised association such as Myotherapy Association Australia to practice within Australia. Well-known and sought after within professional sport it is also a modality well suited to anyone suffering acute or long-term pain. As an evidence-based therapy, treatment may be similar to what you have experienced with a physiotherapist or osteopath, but predominantly focused on soft tissues.
