Myotherapy
is a physical therapy that provides expert assessment,
treatment and management of the soft tissue structures
within the body, this includes muscles, tendons, fascia
and ligaments.
Muscles
Muscles are made up of a muscle belly and tendons.
The muscle belly is an elastic tissue that creates
movement in the body when nerve impulses stimulate
the muscle fibers to contract or lengthen.
There
are over 690 muscles in the human body
|
Tendons
Are non elastic fibrous tissue that attach the muscle
belly to the bones.
Fascia
Is an opaque 'glad wrap' type layer of connective
tissue that surrounds muscles and other structures
binding them into functional groups.
Ligaments are non elastic 'ropes' that are
made of fibrous tissue, they connect bones together
and strengthen joints.
The aim of myotherapy is to reduce or stop pain, restore
and maintain optimal soft tissue function, to prevent
injuries and accelerate healing. While the myotherapy
treatments focus on the soft tissue system, they also
provide benefits to the nervous, skeletal, circulatory
and lymphatic systems
