Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy is a therapeutic massage that basically focuses on treating muscle pain. The technique combines massage therapy and the trigger point therapy in relieving the body of muscle related pain. The trigger points are acquired when the muscles of the body are damaged through accidents whether sports related or work related, during birth, and from disease. They are highly irritable areas inhibiting in the muscles of the body after any type of accidents which usually starts from birth.

The trigger points create pain when physical or emotional stress activates muscle spasm. Trigger points are then pressed with a certain amount of pressure to release the stress and tension that causes spasm. Tensions are released as the nodules are pressed by the massage therapist or myotherapist. These points are different from the acupressure points where energies are manipulated to produce significant results to the health of the patient. However, they both share the same goal of bringing comfort to the patient’s physical health.

The therapy itself is regarded as one of the most cost effective and successful therapeutic massage when it comes to the treatment of acute and chronic muscle pain. It does not involve the use of drugs, medical operations, medical tools and equipments, and other techniques that are not natural. The massage therapist though limited with the use of his or her hands, still yields results that are equivalent to that of using modern technologies. Pressure and precise use of the hands in targeting trigger points are the most essential things required for a good Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy. The therapy is also accompanied by an exercise that is self taught to the patient during the massage therapy which he or she can use outside the massage center or spa. The self healing program or exercise is essential in the success of the treatment.

Patients who are suffering from muscle pain and related problems are the individuals who responds better with the therapy although other conditions are treated quite well by the alternative medical care. Most of the patients are athletes and individuals who are engaged into strenuous activities or have an active lifestyle. The muscles of all parts of the body work hard with every movement of the person who is into sports or just plain active. These population benefits from the therapy not only in treating muscle spasms, pains and many other problems but it also helps builds up resistance from these conditions by strengthening the muscles.

In order to receive all of these benefits and treatment for eliminating muscle pain and certain medical conditions including common ailments, the patient should seek a Bonnie Prudden Certified massage therapist. Although any myotherapist or massage therapist can perform this therapy, the end result which includes the risks and contraindications along with the benefits significantly differs from that of a certified myotherapist. Even if the success rate of this therapy reaches an impressive number of 95 percent, the result will not be guaranteed of only benefits without risk when performed by an ordinary therapist.
