5 Conditions You’d See a Myotherapist For – With Elsa at The Good Joint
When pain, swelling or injury hold you back, myotherapy can be a game-changer. At The Good Joint, Elsa Thomson, our highly skilled Myotherapist, helps clients move better, recover faster and feel stronger. Using deep tissue therapy, remedial massage, dry needling and manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), Elsa creates tailored treatment plans for every individual.
Here are five common reasons people seek myotherapy treatment.
1. Chronic Muscle Pain
Ongoing muscle tightness, soreness or trigger points can impact daily life. Myotherapy targets these problem areas with specific techniques to release tension, restore blood flow and provide lasting relief.
2. Sports Injuries
Whether you are a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, sports injuries such as muscle strains, sprains and overuse injuries respond well to myotherapy. Elsa’s experience with elite NRL athletes means she understands how to reduce pain, support healing and get you back to peak performance safely.
3. Headaches and Migraines
Many headaches are caused by tension in the neck, shoulders or jaw. Elsa uses trigger point therapy and gentle joint mobilisation to ease pressure, reduce frequency and help prevent future headaches.
4. Lipedema and Lymphedema
Lipedema and lymphedema can both lead to swelling, heaviness and discomfort in the arms and legs. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is one of Elsa’s specialties, helping to move excess fluid, reduce pain, improve lymphatic flow and support mobility.
5. Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Recovering from surgery often means dealing with scar tissue, swelling and reduced range of motion. Myotherapy can improve circulation, reduce adhesions and support a faster, smoother recovery.
At The Good Joint, Elsa’s approach to myotherapy is evidence-based and results-driven. Whether you are managing swelling from lipedema or lymphedema, dealing with chronic pain, or recovering from a sports injury, myotherapy can make a significant difference.
