Athletes can benefit from Myotherapy both before and after training. Your Myotherapist may recommend the following types of therapy for your specific needs:

• Myofascial release. This treatment frees tissues from constriction caused by distortions or fascial adhesions.
• Deep tissue massage. This type of massage loosens up your muscles and their connective tissues.
• Trigger point release. A trigger point in a muscle can impair the mobility of your soft tissue and joints, leading to pain. This type of massage targets areas of tight muscle fibbers that may or may not be sensitive to touch
• Dry needling. Is a procedure where a fine needle is inserted into the muscle. It is aimed at myofascial trigger points which are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that’s associated with a hypersensitive substantial nodule in a taut band. Trigger point dry needling can be carried out at superficial or deep tissue level and as the stubborn “knots” are released, pain is diminished and mobility improved. By increasing blood flow to the obstruction, toxic waste products begin to clear, and damaged tissues are well able to heal.

Your soft tissues are in charge for ensuring that your body functions efficiently. As a result, it is critical to keep your soft tissues as strong, healthy and flexible as possible.
