Electrotherapy specialised Myotherapy treatments.

We can offer Electrotherapy treatment during our Myotherapy and Massage appointments.

This specialised therapeutic technique called ‘Electrotherapy’ uses an electrical current that is applied directly into the muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves, to correct dysfunction and pain within the musculoskeletal system.

The application of an electrical current into a dry needling that is running through the affected tissue, is a direct communication with the brain, which causes the nervous system to reset the dysfunction or chronic pain pattern.

The combination electrotherapy with dry needling allows for a deeper and more accurate application than a typical TENs machines.

We can treat the following conditions using these techniques:

– Chronic pain
– Back pain (Upper, mid & lower)
– Neck pain
– Hip pain.
– Shoulder pain
– Scoliosis
– Spinal disc injuries
– Bulging discs
– Numbness, burning and tingling sensations.
– Carpal tunnel
– Post surgery weakness
– Tendonitis
– Sciatica
– Muscle spasms
– Locked joints
– Osteitis pubis

Come and experience the benefits at ChiroCure Clinic with our qualified and experienced Myotherapist’s and Massage therapists.
We look forward to treating you!

What is Fascia and why is it so important when having a Massage?

Fascia is the connective tissue that links our entire body together. Fascia wraps around our organs,
muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and even cells. Lack of mobility in the fascia eventually can lead
to chronic pain, chronic postural imbalances, tightness, stiffness and postural dysfunctions.

Fascia not only holds muscles together and keeps them in the correct places, it also separates each
muscle so the muscle can perform its individual task. When the fascia is tight, our muscles cannot
perform their movement tasks correctly.

Fascia can be felt 6x more than muscles. So often when you are feeling tight or sore while stretching,
you are feeling your fascia.

Myofascial release and cupping is used to relieve the tension built up in our fascia system by
breaking up lesions, increasing fascial mobility, increase blood supply, toxin release that builds up
and decrease general stiffness and pain.

TIP: Water is extremely important in keeping the fascia healthy. Without the correct water intake
daily, our fascia can become stiff and locked up. Drink 2-3L water daily to maintain mobility and
health.
