Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a treatment technique, used by our physiotherapists, to assist with decreasing muscle tension, reducing pain and improving function.  

How does Dry Needling Work?  

By releasing muscle tension, dry needling restores the muscle's ability to contract and relax.  

When a dry needle is inserted into a tight muscle it increases blood flow locally, providing the section of muscle with fresh oxygen and nutrients whilst removing toxins. This, in turn, reduces the muscle tension and leads to the decompression of the local blood and nerve supply. 

Dry needling can be used in conjunction with other treatment modalities during your physiotherapy session.
