Are you experiencing persistent muscle discomfort, tightness, or limited mobility?

How Dry Needling Works?

To understand how dry needling works, it is necessary to first identify trigger sites. These are tight, irritable bands within muscles that can produce discomfort not only at the knot’s location but also elsewhere on the body, a condition known as referred pain. Treating these trigger points is critical for lowering pain, increasing mobility, and preventing future injuries.

What to expect throughout treatment

Your visit will begin with a thorough assessment by one of our trained physiotherapists. To establish whether dry needling is right for you, we will consider your symptoms, medical history, and physical function. During your session, you will lie down or sit comfortably as we clean the area and carefully place the needles into the trigger points. This is intended to be as comfortable as possible.
