Myotherapy vs Physiotherapy – What’s the difference?

Both myotherapy and physiotherapy aim to reduce pain and improve movement, but they take slightly different approaches and are suited to different needs.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy focuses on the treatment of muscles and soft tissue pain. It is particularly helpful for people experiencing:

  • Muscle tightness and tension
  • Trigger points (“knots”)
  • Postural pain from work or lifestyle
  • Chronic muscular pain
  • Headaches related to muscle tension

Treatment is hands-on and targeted, using techniques such as dry needling, cupping, deep tissue work, and soft tissue release to reduce pain and restore muscle function.er for your condition.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy takes a broader, more rehabilitation-focused approach, looking at the body as a whole. It is often recommended for:

  • Acute injuries (e.g. sprains, tears)
  • Post-surgery rehabilitation
  • Joint injuries and instability
  • Neurological or complex conditions
  • Strength and movement retraining

Treatment may include exercise programs, movement correction, manual therapy, and rehabilitation planning.

Which one is right for you?

Choose myotherapy if your main concern is muscle pain, tightness, or ongoing tension.
Choose physiotherapy if you have a recent injury, need rehabilitation, or require a structured recovery plan.

If you’re unsure, our team can guide you to the most appropriate practitioner for your condition.
