Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy used to treat or prevent soft tissue pain and restricted joint movement caused by muscle or myofascia dysfunction. Myofascia are the thin, fibrous sheets of tissue that surround and separate muscles. Ligaments and tendons are comprised of bundles myofascia. The philosophy of myotherapy is founded on Western medial priniples, including anatomy, physiology and biomechanics.
Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions. Many cultures - including the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians - were convinced of the therapeutic properties of massage and used it to treat a variety of ailments. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and is packed with nerve endings.

Remedial Massage works to heat muscles and tendons that are damaged, impaired or knotted. It holitically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort back to the original cause. It uses specialised techniques to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin usually with an oil lubricant.
You will then be asked some questions relating to your area of concern, which areas you would like treated, etc. An assessment may then be undertaken to ensure that not only the symptoms, but the root cause of the problem is identified and treated. This may take up to 15 minutes to complete. For a full body massage, most get undressed down to their underwear but you should only undress to the level you are comfortable.

Peter West is an experienced, knowledgeable, caring and attentive therapist who provides an excellent treatment. I highly recommend him for regular, preventative tune-ups and for the treatment of existing or chronic conditions. Thank you for the massage, Peter. I feel fabulous and I will be back, next time I am in the Marsh!
