Myotherapy and
Allied Therapies for
Your Best Health

We have a holistic and integrated
approach to patient health.

The human body is an incredibly sophisticated and intelligent machine with an almost infinite capacity to adapt to the demands placed on it. When our bodies suffer injury or trauma, a compensatory movement pattern will result. Once the initial injury has healed and the trauma resolved, restoration of optimal movement patterns will often be necessary.

We take a uniquely integrated approach to rehabilitation and chronic pain management, drawing upon a broad range of manual soft tissue techniques in addition to movement and strength-based training.

Patients report help with

Pain
Intense Pain
Pain is a complex phenomenon with many causal drivers. Soft tissue pain may be grouped into two broad categories: acute and chronic. This clinic’s primary focus is on treating chronic pain. Chronic pain is usually six months or more in duration. It does not always have a specific cause and persists long after the initial injury or disease resolves. Common causes of chronic pain include: – Muscular pain – Osteo-articular pain – Neural pain – Visceral pain
Flexability
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a collaborative process between therapist and patient that considers the whole person, incorporating the physical, emotional, psychological and environmental. Rarely does a rehabilitation challenge present with issues in only one area. It is almost always a combination of: – The Physical – The Psychological – The Emotional – The Environmental
Movement
Chronic Conditions
A chronic condition/injury, as opposed to acute, is usually one that develops gradually over a long period of time. Factors may include movement compensations, soft tissue adhesions, trauma, or infection, poor athletic technique, inadequate equipment, overuse and loading of specific bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles. Common types of conditions include: – Visceral – Neural – Ligamentous – Muscular – Oseus
