Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy is fast becoming a mainstream therapy when it comes to treating acute and chronic conditions that are related to musculoskeletal pains. It is a form of myotherapy that is combined with basic massage techniques and trigger point therapy that allows the muscles to be free of tension, adhesions, fatigue, and stress. It is also used to improve the circulation of the body as well as a form of relaxing therapy on many individuals.

Bonnie Prudden’s genius ideas regarding myotherapy and trigger point therapy paved the way for what most patients with muscle problems enjoy today. Prudden, along with her friend and colleague Dr. Hans Kraus developed and pioneered the use of myotherapy on therapies. She noticed that when touch therapy on trigger points is conducted on the patient, a soothing feeling is suddenly experienced by the client. For that reason, she incorporated the use of pressure pointing with the other techniques in her therapy.

The therapy’s best and notable benefit is perhaps the treatment of muscle pain which is common on athletes. Due to the strenuous activities, the muscles enter the state of being overused while fatigue and stress settles in to promote muscle spasm which in return causes pain on the affected areas. If the body is suffering from spasms in the various muscle areas, the result can be devastating. A significant difficulty in the movement of the body is experienced by the patient, which will eventually results to restriction of mobility and flexibility of the muscle, joint and ligament.

In a Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy session, the patients are comfortably lying down on a massage table without their shoes and in their clothes. The therapist then checks for potential problems in the active trigger points of the body. He or she will continue to search for trigger points and will note all of them to be treated with the Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy technique. The non-invasive technique quickly eliminates pain after it is addressed on the specific areas with the correct amount of pressure applied and the proper procedure done by a certified myotherapist.

The triggering of points also allows the improvement of the circulation and the increase in supply of the blood and oxygen of the body. As the muscle tissues are corrected and relaxed, the blood and oxygen begins to flow properly and the nutrients that it brings, now reaches that area of muscles making it stronger and supple. When the circulation is improved, the body also reacts positively by enhancing and raising its defense against sickness and disease. The respiratory system improves quite drastically with every session of Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy. Cardiovascular problems are also lessened due to the correction in the flow and supply of blood which greatly affects the blood pressure.

Although the whole therapy along with the self healing program are beneficial to the recovery of the body, diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are all components of a healthy constitution. If some of these are missing, the result is usually problems after problems.
