Discover effective arthritis pain management with myotherapy at Spectrum Myotherapy Clinic in Berwick. Reduce inflammation and improve mobility naturally.
Arthritis can make everyday tasks such as walking, climbing stairs or holding a pen painful and difficult, limiting mobility and quality of life. At the heart of this condition lies chronic inflammation, a key contributor to the discomfort experienced by individuals. With growing interest in natural arthritis pain management, myotherapy offers a holistic, evidence-based way to ease muscle dysfunction and support healing.
Understanding Arthritis and Its Inflammatory Nature
Arthritis refers to a group of musculoskeletal disorders that cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. Among the most common forms are osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear of cartilage, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition characterised by systemic inflammation. Regardless of the type, inflammation plays a pivotal role in the progression of arthritis.
Inflammation occurs as the body’s natural response to injury or infection. In arthritis, however, this process becomes chronic, leading to the breakdown of joint tissues and persistent pain. Effective arthritis pain management requires controlling inflammation, with myotherapy offering added support by targeting muscle and soft tissue dysfunction.
How Myotherapy Helps Reduce Inflammation
Myotherapy is a physical therapy that treats musculoskeletal pain using evidence-based techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve movement, and aid healing.
• Muscle Release and Improved Circulation – One of the foundational principles of myotherapy is the release of tight muscles and trigger points. Muscle knots restrict movement and circulation; myotherapy uses pressure and manual techniques to boost blood flow, aiding healing and reducing inflammation.
• Nervous System Regulation – Chronic pain often leads to heightened nervous system activity, where the body becomes more sensitive to pain signals. Myotherapy calms the nervous system, easing muscle tension and reducing pain perception to break the cycle of inflammation and stress.
• Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage – Swelling and inflammation are often exacerbated by poor lymphatic drainage. Myotherapy stimulates the lymphatic system to clear toxins, reduce swelling, and support the body’s natural inflammation control.
Key Myotherapy Techniques for Arthritis Pain Relief
In addressing arthritis pain management, myotherapists employ a range of techniques tailored to individual needs and the severity of symptoms.
• Dry Needling – Dry needling uses fine needles to release trigger points, easing tension, improving muscle function, and reducing inflammation-related pain.
• Deep Tissue Massage – Deep tissue massage targets deep muscle layers to ease tension, improve mobility, and reduce stiffness, supporting inflammation relief and joint function.
• Stretching and Mobility Exercises – Targeted stretching maintains flexibility and joint movement, with tailored routines that support joint health and prevent further decline.
• Corrective Exercises and Posture Alignment – Correct posture eases joint stress; myotherapists use corrective exercises to improve alignment, reduce strain, and support long-term joint health.
