Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a targeted physiotherapy technique that uses single use sterile needles to release tight muscles, reduce pain, and improve movement. Needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points, which are tight spots in muscles that cause stiffness or discomfort. Gentle insertion may produce a small muscle twitch that helps the muscle relax and function normally. We will explain the process beforehand and ensure it is appropriate for your condition.

​

Dry Needling can help relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, promote healing, and stimulate the release of natural pain relieving chemicals. It is effective for joint pain, tendonitis, disc or spinal issues, headaches, back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as acute or chronic trigger point pain. For best results, Dry Needling is delivered as part of a personalised physiotherapy program that includes exercise, manual therapy, and movement retraining tailored to your recovery goals.
