What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a term that literally means muscle therapy. We use the term myotherapy to differentiate our services from those that one would find at a typical spa or resort. While we can do spa-type services, we have chosen to focus on therapeutic techniques to effectively treat muscle pain or soft tissue injuries. These therapies include trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue, and sports massage. We can also employ active and passive stretching, and hot and cold therapies into each individual treatment plan. There is some good that can come from simply relaxing for an hour, but we believe that these therapies are far more effective at changing the structure and function of the muscular system than simply “spreading lotion around.”
