So you’ve heard about Remedial Massage Wagga… What about Myotherapy?

If you’re dealing with an injury, muscular tension, restricted movement, chronic or acute pain, you may have come across both Remedial Massage and Myotherapy. But what is the difference?

While there is some overlap between the two, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy can take different approaches depending on your symptoms, goals and individual needs.

What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a hands-on treatment approach focused on assessing, treating and supporting the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and movement-related conditions.

A myotherapist may use a combination of techniques depending on what you need, including soft tissue treatment, massage, dry needling, joint mobilisation, exercise and rehabilitation strategies.

Rather than simply focusing on an area that feels tight or sore, myotherapy looks at the bigger picture. Your movement, lifestyle, activity levels and individual symptoms can all help inform your treatment.

At CORE Myotherapy, we identify and treat the cause of your pain rather than your symptoms. Our goal is to help you move better, feel better and return to the activities that are important to you.

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a targeted form of massage therapy designed to address muscular tension, discomfort and other soft tissue issues.

A remedial massage therapist assesses the areas requiring treatment and uses specific massage techniques to help address muscular restrictions and support recovery.

For some people, a remedial massage may be ideal for managing general muscle tension, recovering after exercise or addressing areas that regularly become tight or uncomfortable.

Myotherapy v Remedial Massage: Which One Suits My Need?

There isn't necessarily one treatment that is better than the other. The right choice depends on your circumstances.

Myotherapy may be particularly suitable if you're experiencing an ongoing musculoskeletal issue, recovering from an injury, dealing with movement limitations, or looking for a combination of hands-on treatment and exercise-based strategies.

Remedial massage may be a good option if your primary concern is muscular tightness, tension, recovery following physical activity or relaxation.
