We all need a release.

Myotherapy, from the Greek root word myo, is therapy for the muscles.

Myotherapy is a problem-focused, clinical, and deep tissue therapeutic massage that targets specific areas in the muscle. Unlike a spa massage, it’s not designed for relaxation. Myotherapy complements Chiropractic, because the muscular system plays a supporting role to the spine. Healthy muscles not only allow the body to move more efficiently, they also help maintain good blood circulation. 

Cancio employs its own signature Myotherapy technique, developed by Dr. Anton Cancio himself. It’s a soft-tissue technique that combines manual therapy and other massage techniques, created based on his experience working with athletes and massage therapists in the U.S.
