The term 'myotherapy' literally translates to 'muscle therapy' and is often used to describe a wide variety of manual therapy techniques applied to the body's soft tissues by massage therapists (LMP/LMTs), physical therapists (PT/DPTs), chiropractors (DCs), and possibly acupuncturists (LAcs) or naturopaths (NDs). Myotherapy aims to correct myofascial pain, which refers to any pain initiated by musculoskeletal dysfunction in an area different from where the pain is actually felt.
