Do I need a referral to see a Myotherapist?
IRMA Myotherapists treat the cause as well as the symptoms of a wide range of conditions. The cause of pain and symptoms is myofascial in many conditions. It may originate from abnormal muscle contraction (‘tightness’) or trigger points (‘knots’) in muscle or fascia. Trigger points are tender, irritable areas which can refer pain and other symptoms to areas close to or often distant to the trigger point. They can be caused by many factors e.g. poor posture, overuse of muscles, stress, incorrect lifting and lack of sleep.
