Myofascial pain relief therapy can become part of the healing process for patient.The myotherapist will adopt a myofascial approach to diagnose and treat trigger points. The myotherapist will listen closely to the patient's description of pain and confirm their reality.This approach de-emphasises drug therapy in favour of Myotherapy. John will help inactivate trigger points followed by personalised stretching and biomechanical correction of poor posture. Treatment includes giving advice on proper self-help stretching programmes.The myotherapist adopts a comprehensive treatment protocol in diagnosis and develops an effective treatment plans to treat muscles that are most likely to be the sources of pain.

The myotherapist will also work with other health care professional in the medical community as a team to manage patients' pain conditions. The interdisciplinary nature of this approach would effectively relief patients' pain and improve functions.

Myotherapy therapy works in three ways:

1. Myotherapy breaks into the self-sustaining vicious circle that has kept the muscle contracted.
2. Tyotherapy increases the circulation, which has been restricted in the immediate area by the contracted fibres, thus enabling oxygen and nutrients to flow to the spot.
3. Myotherapy directly stretches the trigger point's knotted muscle fibres.
