MyoAct (EMG)

Real-time muscle feedback that helps you learn to activate, relax, and control your own muscles.

Myoact (EMG), or electromyography-based biofeedback, uses sensors placed on your skin to measure the electrical activity of your muscles in real time. Your therapist uses this information as biofeedback, showing you visually or audibly how your muscles are working so you can learn to activate, relax, or coordinate them more effectively. The goal is to improve muscle control, reduce tension, and correct movement patterns that contribute to pain or dysfunction. Benefits include better muscle awareness, improved coordination, and faster progress in retraining weak or overactive muscles. You can expect a painless session where you actively practice movements while watching your muscle activity.

How the treatment works

Assess

Your therapist places sensors on your skin over key muscles and observes their electrical activity during rest and movement to understand how they're currently functioning.

Identify

Specific muscles that are overactive, underactive, or poorly coordinated are pinpointed using real-time feedback, revealing exactly which patterns are contributing to your symptoms.

Treat

You practice specific movements or exercises while watching your muscle activity on screen, using that feedback to learn how to activate, relax, or coordinate muscles correctly.

Restore

Muscle control and coordination improve as you gain awareness of your own activity patterns, helping reduce pain and tension while building lasting, correct movement habits.

Is this a good fit for you?

  1. Muscle tension or overactivity - Muscles that stay tight or engaged without you realizing

  2. Post-injury muscle retraining - Relearning proper muscle activation after injury or surgery

  3. Poor muscle coordination - Difficulty timing or controlling specific muscle groups

  4. Chronic pain linked to tension - Pain patterns connected to ongoing muscle tightness

When can you expect a difference?

Many patients notice improved muscle awareness and control within just a few sessions of practicing with feedback. Lasting changes in movement habits build with consistent practice, and your therapist tracks your progress closely.

Frequently Asked Questions

No — the sensors simply rest on your skin and don't deliver any stimulation, so the process is completely painless. Most patients find it interesting to see their own muscle activity in real time.

Your therapist attaches small sensors to your skin over specific muscles, then guides you through exercises while you watch your muscle activity displayed in real time. This feedback helps you correct movement patterns as you practice.

Unlike stimulation devices that trigger contractions for you, Myoact (EMG) only measures and displays your own muscle activity. It helps you learn to control your muscles yourself, rather than relying on an outside signal.

The number of sessions depends on your condition and how quickly you build awareness and control over your muscles. Your therapist will create a personalized plan and adjust it as your progress continues.

This treatment may help if you're dealing with muscle tension, poor coordination, or difficulty activating specific muscles after injury. Your therapist will assess your condition to confirm it's a good fit for you.
