What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy focuses on injury prevention, health and fitness promotion and maintenance as well as care during injury and rehabilitation. Myotherapy training shares the foundations of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, exercise science, and manual therapies with other 'hands on' health professions. Myotherapy practice includes a broad range of therapeutic modalities including myofascial techniques, soft tissue therapy, deep tissue massage, corrective exercises and myofascial dry needling. The Australian College of Sports Therapy offers short courses through to an Advanced Diploma in Myotherapy.
