​​​​​​​​​​​​​What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves the use of fine, sterile acupuncture needles inserted into tight or dysfunctional muscle tissue, commonly referred to as trigger points.

 

The goal of dry needling is to:

• Reduce muscular tension

• Improve blood flow

• Decrease pain sensitivity

• Restore movement

• Improve muscular activation and recovery

 

Dry needling is commonly incorporated alongside:

• Myotherapy

• Deep tissue massage

• Trigger point therapy

• Joint mobilisation

• Stretching

• Corrective exercise and rehabilitation

 

What Conditions Can Dry Needling Help?

Is Dry Needling Painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. Some muscles may produce a brief twitch response, which is a normal reaction and often indicates the targeted muscle has been stimulated effectively.
