At Zen Wellness, Myotherapy is all about getting to the root cause of your pain, not just masking it.
What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a clinical, evidence-based treatment that assesses, treats and manages musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It focuses on your muscles, fascia, joints, nerves and the way they all work together.
We look at why you are in pain - poor posture, muscle imbalances, injury history, stress, overuse - and then create a treatment plan to fix it.
It's much more than a regular massage. It's clinical treatment.
What do we treat at Zen Wellness?
We specialize in chronic and complex pain conditions, including:
Most common at our clinic:
