MyoVision Pain Assessment
MyoVision is a state-of-the-art system that uses advanced technology to assess your spinal muscle activity and identify any issues. Originally created for NASA, it helps us understand how your nervous system is working. We were the first osteopathy clinic in the UK to offer this cutting-edge technology.
Accurate Pain Assessments with Myovision
Unlike X-rays or MRIs, MyoVision focuses on muscle and nerve function, allowing us to identify issues and create treatment plans for lasting relief.

Surface Vision
Surface EMG, similar to an ECG for the heart but more sensitive, measures the electrical activity in your muscles to show how healthy your spine is. Stress from poor posture or emotional factors can cause nerves to act abnormally, leading to irregular muscle activity. The MyoVision software shows these patterns on a graph—larger bars mean more muscle activity—making it easy for you to see and understand.
EP Stress Score
The EP Stress Score is a single number that shows the state of your spine, helping track changes over time. Higher scores from your first scan often mean significant spinal issues, which usually improve after 4-6 weeks of treatment. Lower scores can indicate chronic muscle fatigue. This simple score gives a clear picture of your spinal health and helps us monitor your progress.
Flexivision
This test measures how well your spine moves and its flexibility. Restricted movement or stiff joints can lead to pain and wear on your spine. Even early problems can affect your nervous system. The test uses a precise tool to analyze spinal movement in your neck and lower back, helping guide your treatment.
Thermal Scan
The thermal scan measures temperature differences along your spine to check the health of your nervous system, which controls your organs and blood flow. Uneven temperatures can show nerve problems in specific areas of your spine. This scan is done at your first visit and during treatment to track your progress. Spinal misalignments can irritate nerves, but osteopathic adjustments can help restore balance and improve your overall health.

Pain Assessment FAQs
We know that MyoVision technology might be new to you, and you may have questions about how it works. To help, here are answers to some common questions about the pain assessment:
Does the MyoVision pain assessment hurt?
Not at all. Unlike X-rays, this process is completely pain-free and non-invasive. We don't put anything into your body; instead, we simply measure the signals your body gives off. It's safe for everyone, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Small pads are gently placed on your skin, and with the latest wireless technology, we can scan your spine in under 60 seconds.
Why is muscle activity important?
Muscles often tense up to protect against spinal misalignments, which can cause nerve interference. This interference can affect muscles, blood vessels, internal organs, and even lead to joint problems. The MyoVision system records these muscle tension patterns, helping us assess the need for treatment and track progress.
What do the MyoVision results mean?
The colours in the results show muscle tension levels: green is normal, pink is moderate tension, red indicates high tension, and yellow shows low or fatigued muscles. Arrows point out areas where imbalances are present.
How does osteopathy affect my sEMG?
Osteopathic treatments help your nervous system, and usually, sEMG readings improve after treatment, showing more balance and normal muscle activity.
How do the pain assessments help?
These assessments give immediate feedback on your musculoskeletal health, showing muscle tension levels. They give a clear, objective picture of how your muscles are working, helping us monitor progress and guide your treatment.
