MYYO Technique
MYYO is an effective and holistic functional therapy with an energetic component. Designed as a natural way to alleviate pain, it works towards conditioning and normalising the function of tissue in the body. The goal is to bring ease and balance back to the individual. MYYO is an effective hybrid therapy combining pressure point release and yoga principles.
The term MYYO is a combination of 2 words – ‘myo’ (Greek for muscles) and ‘yoga’. It is thus a manual process of relieving pain by working on and stretching muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia (connective tissue). The technique involves applying pressure to specific trigger points within muscles, combined with simple stretching and/or yoga postures, which releases trigger points and tension. This process alleviates pain/discomfort in the body as well as improving emotional and mental imbalances.
