Advanced Myotherapy

After a nice relaxing massage that will have you floating on air? Well move along because that’s not what Advanced Myotherapy is about. Sure, they’d probably give you a gentle rub down if you asked for it, but their specialty is in causing a very particular kind of pain. The kind of pain that’s so bad it’s good for you… honest!
Walk in here with an injury, a tight back or cramped up muscles and you will be worked over with whatever is necessary. A visit usually starts with a chat about what’s going on for your body and relevant questions about your lifestyle. You’ll be told what the plan of attack is for that session and then the fun begins! From trigger pointing to dry needling, you’ll get a good going over before you’re perhaps given some small exercises to continue doing at home.
I’ve had numerous appointments with both Dempsey and Murray and both very good. Dempsey being the more hard-​core (read: causes the most pain!) and Murray being the more holistic in his approach. Both are friendly, answer any questions I have and make every effort to make me feel comfortable and maintain my modesty with careful towel manoeuvring.
It’s not all bad, I’ll admit. There are moments of relaxation to be had and the ambience itself is calming and chilled with low lighting and decent ambient music. While the majority of the session can’t be described as blissful, waking up two days later feeling a lot better certainly can!
