| What
is MYYO Technique? |
| MYYO
Technique is a way of releasing tension and pain in the body on all levels,
by various techniques and stretching exercises. The aim is to help everyone to
"Live Life Painlessly". |
What
causes pain and stiffness in the muscles? |
| Tiny
muscle knots, which are often the same points as accupuncture points, cause contraction
and hence pain. They may manifest on the physical, energetic or chemical levels.
These may occur when a muscle is held in a contracted state for a lengthy period
of time or when a sudden or a jerked reaction to an accident or fall occurs. Any
time a muscle is put into a compromised position like an accident, injury, surgery
or even bad posture or repeatedly holding or moving a muscle in a specific way,
will cause the tiny fibres of the muscle to constrict and form these knot-like
trigger points. For example the bowler in the cricket team will develop trigger
points in his shoulder muscles after repeatedly circum-rotating his arm to bowl
the ball. |
When
I am physically or emotionally under pressure I develop body pain, can MYYO help
this? |
Sometimes
due to an old accident, injury or surgical procedure, trigger points are ‘set
up’ within muscles of the body but do not give you any pain until a stressful
time in your life. These then ‘light up’ or become active and cause
immense or mild physical pain. This pain may not necessarily be in the area of
the trigger point. |
Is
treatment the same for everyone? |
| Every
person is different, every area on the person can feel different, and therefor
the MYYO consultation is not the same for everybody and may also vary from appointment
to appointment. |
Do
I need to take off my clothes for a treatment? |
Majority
of the MYYO treatments are carried out on the client who is fully clothed
in thin and stretchable comfortable clothing. Sometimes however, the client is
asked to remove their top to access the upper back or neck area. Shoes are removed. |

advise the person to come at least 3 times (with minimum 3 days in between each
treatment) to correct the original problem. Perhaps after that the client may
need a few more treatments, depending on the severity of the injury or problem
- otherwise we suggest a monthly maintenance treatment to remain in optimum balance
and health. |

not at present. |
