Healthcare modalities: Therapeutic Massage, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy.
As a healthcare provider business, we deal with many people with bodily dysfunctions. One of the most common issue with people affected by pain is choosing the correct therapy. The more common question asked by our clients is about the difference between Relaxation Massage, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy.
All professionals treat similar conditions but in a slightly different way. Relaxation massage focuses on establishing wellbeing. Remedial massage focuses primarily on the muscular system performing pain management, postural balance and stretching. Myotherapy may be a combination of Remedial Massage and extensive rehabilitation and exercise programs. It is difficult, however, to generalize about different therapies as each treatment is specific to the client and the choice of modality used may change accordingly.

Myotherapy
According to the
Association of Massage
Therapists,
myotherapy is a health care discipline to assess and treat myofascial pain and dysfunction. Myotherapy can help improve the integrity of the soft tissue
structures of your body (muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendons), which is
important in the prevention of injury and dysfunction. Your soft tissues can
be damaged or irritated in accidents, sporting activities, by having
incorrect posture, from over-use (repetitive activities) or under-use,
disease, or by physical and emotional stress. This damage sometimes presents
as a trigger point (lump or knot) in the muscle.
Correct treatment and maintenance of trigger points, helps to reduce pain,
soreness, tightness, and restriction of movement and muscle tension.
Myotherapy can also help you restore maximum mobility by correcting and
rehabilitating injuries and preventing recurrence.
