Myotherapy

Myotherapy was developed by Bonnie Prudden in 1976 and is a technique of relaxing muscle spasms, improving circulation and removing pain. It defuses “trigger points”, intense knots of muscle tension that often spread pain to other areas of the body. When a trigger point is under excessive stress, emotional or physical, it often reacts by throwing a muscle into spasm. Spasms obviously, cause pain. Myotherapists erase spasms by pressing on the corresponding trigger points for several seconds by means of fingers, knuckles, and elbows and then re-teaches the affected muscle to return to its normal resting relaxed condition with exercises designed for each individual problem.
