Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique used to relieve muscle pain and improve movement. It involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into trigger points — tight bands of muscle fibers—to stimulate healing and reduce pain. 

​

Trigger points, often called "knots", can develop in muscles due to injury, overuse, or poor posture. Inserting a needle into one of these points:

• causes a localised response, which helps release the tension.

• increases blood flow to the area.

• helps restore normal muscle function and reduce inflammation

• stimulates the body's natural pain-relief chemicals

​

Dry needling is widely used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including:

• Chronic back or neck pain

• Shoulder impingement

• Tennis or golfer’s elbow

• Sciatica

• Hip and glute pain

• Knee pain or patellar tendinopathy

• Plantar fasciitis

• Headaches or migraines linked to muscular tension

• Sports injuries and overuse syndromes

​

Dry Needling has minimal intervention but a big impact including:​

• Reducing acute and chronic pain

• Improving range of motion

• Accelerating recovery after injury

• Enhancing performance for athletes

 

Dry Needling complements other physiotherapy and rehabilitation techniques and can be used a part of 30, 60 or 90 minute session.​
