What is MYOTHERAPY?

​ In medical terms Myotherapy simply means “muscle-therapy”. The prefix Myo means muscle. The first formal use of the term Myotherapy was used by Bonnie Prudden an exercise and fitness expert who in the 1950’s she began to explore ways to assess and treat her own muscle pain and dysfunction. Using her own knowledge of human form and function along with concepts of Trigger Point pain patterns developed by Janet Travell MD she developed Bonnie Prudden’s Myotherapy. Today the term Myotherapy is used by many manual therapy practitioners to describe forms of treatment using one or more different modalities. At Total Balance Myotherapy the term is used to describe an assessment and treatment model which incorporates Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Trigger point Therapy, Active Release and Positional Release to assess and treat pain, increase range of motion and decrease postural dysfunction due to injury and repetitive strain disorders.
