What is the difference between Myotherapy and Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage Therapists work exclusively on treating the superficial and deeper layers of muscle tissue as well as the connective tissue of the patient to improve function, release muscular tension, aid in the tissue healing process and to promote general relaxation and wellbeing.

Remedial Massage is more commonly performed on conditions that are already diagnosed and/or are non-specific complaints (such as general soreness or tightness), to provide some form of relief.  

Myotherapy is aimed at more specific conditions, injuries and complaints that are associated with a more specific set of signs and symptoms. The goals of Myotherapy treatments are more refined, while the structures that can be treated by a Myotherapist include muscles, joints and nerves.

Both Remedial Massage Therapists and Myotherapists can treat and provide relief from acute (rapid onset) and chronic (ongoing) complaints.
