MYOTHERAPY

Myotherapy is a natural, holistic physical therapy that uses the systematic manipulation of the body’s soft tissues to help reduce pain & return the body to its natural balanced state. By applying specific & precise techniques to the body’s soft-tissues Myotherapy can aid in the preventative, corrective and rehabilitative phases of pain management.

Here at the Melbourne Osteopathic Clinic we understand the frustration of pain and the restrictions it can have on daily activities, this is why we not only want to stop the pain but also correct the cause of the pain. Myotherapists help achieve this by assessment, treatment, management and prevention of the possible causative factors.
