Myorthotics
What is Myorthotics?
- Do you have a spinal problem?
- Do you suffer from a sore back or neck?
- Do you have aches and pains in your muscles?
- Are you always stiff and sore when waking and throughout the morning?
So many people suffer from the complaints above and assume that it is quite normal. They can be heard saying things like –
“I am getting old”
“It is because of all the sport I did when I was younger”
“It is because all the injuries I sustained throughout my life”.
Myorthotics may be the answer for you!!!
Simple to Perform
Myorthotics is a non-invasive, non-chiropractic technique which is very effective for the relief of joint pain, muscle pain, and spinal pain.
When muscles spasm, joint spaces can be narrowed, and nerves trapped in the spasmed fibre.
The ligaments that join muscles to bone each have a channel to move in. If these ligaments are not in their correct channel, they become inflamed and swollen, causing pain.
By using specific Myorthotics points, it is possible to relax muscles, and using finger pressure, re-align ligaments in their correct channels.
It is simple to perform and can take 15-20 minutes for each client.
Myorthotics means “Myo” for muscle and “orthotics” for support and relaxant, for it is a muscle support and relaxant technique.
As the muscle and other soft tissue of the body assume their correct length and position, they release their pressure on the spine and the spine then assumes a position which is comfortable for the client.
A Few points to remember after a Myorthotics
- Do not use any form of heat on the body for 12 hours following treatment. No hot baths or showers.
- When sitting, sit straight with both feet on the floor.
- Do not sit for more than one hour at a time without getting up and moving around.
- Do not sit in a cold draught or go swimming in cold water for 12 hours following treatment.
- Take it easy for 24 hours, no exercise.
- No massage for at least 5 days after.
- Experience has shown that any of these things appear to bring fluid to the area treated and can float the soft tissue out of their normal position.
Summary
I have been treating clients using the Myorthotics technique for approximately 33 years and have found it a highly effective for a high percentage of back, neck and shoulder issues.
