Physical pain is a complex and subjective experience that typically arises from actual or potential tissue damage. It’s a warning signal from your body that something may be wrong. Pain can vary in intensity, duration, and type, ranging from sharp and acute to dull and chronic. Factors like injury, inflammation, or diseases can trigger physical pain, and it involves sensory and emotional components. Pain serves a protective function, urging individuals to take actions to avoid further harm.

Myokinetic therapy is a type of treatment that focuses on addressing physical pain and movement issues by targeting muscle imbalances and dysfunctions. It recognizes that pain often stems from problems in how muscles work together. In simple terms, it aims to restore proper muscle function to alleviate pain and improve overall movement. So, think of it like fixing the teamwork among your muscles to help your body move better and reduce discomfort.
