If your pain or restriction is on this list, we can help. If it is not, give us a call, and we will let you know honestly whether myotherapy is the right fit or point you to who is.
Most lower back pain is driven by a mix of muscle overload, joint stiffness and nervous system sensitivity, not one single injury. Myotherapy assesses what is actually contributing to your pain, releases the overworking muscles, mobilises stiff joints and rebuilds the strength you need to keep moving without flare ups.
Neck and shoulder pain often builds up quietly from long hours at a desk, phone use, poor sleep positions and stress. Treatment focuses on the deep neck flexors, upper traps, levator scapulae and the muscles around the shoulder blade, plus dry needling for stubborn trigger points and simple strengthening you can do at home.
Pain in the hip, buttock or down the leg is one of the most common issues we treat. Often it involves the glutes, deep hip rotators and the muscles around the pelvis, sometimes with true nerve irritation. Careful assessment sorts one from the other, so treatment is targeted at the actual driver.
Many headaches, including some migraines, have a strong musculoskeletal contribution from the upper neck, jaw and shoulder muscles. Myotherapy addresses those inputs directly, which can reduce both frequency and intensity of episodes over time.
From acute strains to long standing overuse issues, sports injuries respond well to a combined approach. We look at the injured tissue, how you load through movement, and any weak links up or down the chain, then use hands on treatment, taping and specific rehab to get you back safely.
Arthritis does not have to mean giving up the activities you love. Myotherapy helps by reducing the muscle guarding around a painful joint, restoring realistic range and building strength, which is one of the most evidence supported ways to manage arthritic pain.
Fibromyalgia is a complex, whole body pain condition. Our approach is gentle, gradual and paced to your tolerance, focused on downregulating the nervous system, easing the areas of highest sensitivity and giving you tools to manage flares between sessions.
Pregnancy and early parenthood put big new demands on the body. Safe, gentle treatment through and after pregnancy can ease back, hip and pelvic pain, help with feeding related upper back tension and support a comfortable recovery.
If you feel stiff, tight or locked up in ways stretching alone will not fix, there is usually a mix of muscle tone and fascial restriction in play. We use hands on release, dry needling and specific mobility work to restore range you can actually use.

Sitting or standing all day, driving long distances, repetitive lifting and tool use all load the body in specific ways. We treat the tissue that is overloaded, give you a plan for your work setup, and rebuild the strength that makes it easier to hold a good position all day.
