What is Myotherapy?

What does a myotherapist do?

Myotherapy focuses on treating muscle pain, tightness and dysfunction. Using massage, dry needling, cupping and targeted soft-tissue work, myotherapists help reduce tension, improve movement and support long-term recovery. Some common treatments include:

  • Deep Tissue Massage

    Massage is the foundation of myotherapy. It targets tight or overloaded muscles, improves blood flow, reduces soreness and helps restore healthy movement. Ideal for general tightness, training recovery or chronic muscle tension.
