Myotherapy: Restoring Movement, Enhancing Well-Being
Myotherapy is a hands-on approach to treating the musculoskeletal system, designed to improve mobility, relieve pain, and optimize overall well-being. The body has an incredible ability to heal, but it first needs to feel safe. Once safety is established, movement becomes more fluid, flexibility improves, and strength follows.
At Functional Myotherapy, we work with your body's natural principles to restore balance, enhance performance, and support long-term health.

Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a targeted technique that involves inserting a thin stainless steel needle into muscle tissue to stimulate a positive response. This process helps reduce muscle spasms, release tension, and restore range of motion, allowing for greater mobility and ease of movement.
One of the key focuses of Dry Needling is addressing trigger points—localized areas of tightness within a muscle that can cause both local and referred pain, as well as movement restrictions. Left untreated, these trigger points can lead to compensatory movement patterns and further dysfunction.
Definition of a Trigger Point:
"A hyper-irritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle’s fascia. The spot is painful on compression and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and autonomic behavior." – Travell & Simons, 1992
By releasing these restrictions, Dry Needling promotes better movement, improved circulation, and long-term relief from pain and discomfort.

Dry Needling Experience
Upon insertion you may feel a momentary pin prick.
Once the needle is inserted you may feel minimal to no sensation, dull ache around or surrounding needle sight plus an intermittent minor tingling sensation.
Dry Needling is usually a pain free technique that can have immediate therapeutic effect.

Cupping
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping is a therapeutic technique designed to enhance the flow of Qi—the body’s vital life force—promoting balance, healing, and overall well-being.
The vacuum effect created by the cups provides a unique form of myofascial release, helping to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and open energy channels. This encourages the body’s natural healing response, supporting mobility, recovery, and relaxation.

BE activated 123
The Be Activated 1-2-3 approach is a movement-based assessment and activation system designed to identify and correct dysfunctional movement patterns. By restoring proper sequencing, this method helps the body move with greater efficiency, power, and resilience.
The body is segmented into three activation zones, each playing a vital role in movement and performance:
- Zone 1: The foundation—Diaphragm, Psoas, and Glutes (core stability and primary movement drivers)
- Zone 2: The support system—Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Abdominals, and Torso (force transfer and postural control)
- Zone 3: The connection points—Lower Leg, Foot, Shoulders, and Head (balance, coordination, and fine motor control)
By activating these zones in the correct sequence, we optimize movement efficiency, reduce compensation patterns, and create lasting improvements in strength, flexibility, and resilience.

The Power of Optimal Movement: The 1-2-3 Sequence
The Be Activated 1-2-3 system follows an optimal movement pattern, beginning with diaphragmatic breathing and hip flexion/extension, then flowing seamlessly into Zone 2 and Zone 3.
Think of it like a wave—starting from a central point, gathering momentum, and becoming a powerful force. Similarly, when Zone 1 (the body’s midpoint) is properly activated, it creates a strong foundation for control, flexibility, and strength, allowing movement to be fluid, efficient, and pain-free.
