Myopractics is a form of massage therapy that uses gentle and flowing massage techniques. This principle is based on the belief that the human body is like water that is fluid and free flowing.

The belief that the life and body are in constant motion is the goal of a massage therapist that is conducting myopractics to his or her patient. In order to have a healthy body, the organs, blood, oxygen, bones, and muscles should always be moving as the others are in motion. Both myopractics and Bowen therapy share the same principles and philosophies in healing and relaxing the body.

The therapy can also be compared somehow with the Oriental massage therapy types that focus on balancing and unblocking energy within the body. However, instead of working on the life force or “qi”, the therapist performs massage techniques meant for breaking down stress, tension, and fatigue. The techniques used are based on the therapist’s assessment of the patient’s body right before the start of the session.

During a myopractics therapy session, the therapist begins evaluating the posture of the client. Through this physical assessment, the massage therapist will be able to know regarding the current condition and the level of treatment the patient requires. The number of session can also be determined based on the evaluation of the current state of the body.

This therapy is known for treating a variety of conditions that are mostly associated with musculoskeletal pain. Myopractics is best for the treatment of body pain including:

– Headaches – the flowing strokes that are equivalent to the techniques used for treating headaches are great in relieving this type of pain. Along with the gentle touch of the therapist, the patient can expect relief during and after the therapy session.

– Neck pain – the neck benefits from the realignment and balancing of the entire body conducted by the masseuse in order to promote its fluid movement.

– Back Pain – similar to neck pain, the back which is connected to the pelvis needs to be realigned and treated to restore its healthy state. If the back is in its proper position as well as free flowing, the patient can expect a relief from pain.

– Joint Pain – the technique works best in addressing joint problems. The principle used is to restore right motion which is much better than positioning it back in its place.

– Intestinal Problems – myopractics treatment can also be used to treat intestinal problems.

– Muscle Pain – the goal of balancing the pelvis which is the focus of the therapy works well in providing relief from muscle pain. The belief is that all parts of the body correspond to the condition of the pelvis which is in the center of the body and is responsible for the state of the other parts.

For anyone who is interested into trying this therapy or other related types of therapeutic massages, I would recommend that you consult with your doctor as he or she can provide you information regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the therapy to your health.
