Dry Needling
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique involving the insertion of thin, solid needles (often referred to as filiform needles) into specific points in muscles known as trigger points.
Can Everyone Benefit from Dry Needling?
Dry needling can benefit a variety of individuals who experience musculoskeletal pain, dysfunction, or movement impairments. Individuals with chronic muscle pain and/or chronic pain conditions, athletes and active individuals, limited range of motion and, individuals with postural issues
Technique
The technique involves inserting needles directly into the trigger points within muscles. These trigger points are tight bands or knots of muscle tissue that can cause pain and restrict movement.
Purpose
The primary goal of dry needling is to release or inactivate trigger points to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and enhance muscle function. By inserting the needles, practitioners aim to elicit a local twitch response in the muscle, which can help relax it and reduce pain.
Mechanisms
Pain Relief:
- By targeting trigger points
Muscle Relaxation:
- Relieving muscle tension, promoting lymphatic drainage and increasing blood circulation
Improvement in Function:
- By alleviating muscle tightness and pain, dry needling can restore normal muscle function and improve range of motion
What are the benefits of Deep Tissue Massage?
Pain Relief
Dry needling targets trigger points within muscles, which are often associated with pain and discomfort. By inserting needles into these points, it can help alleviate both localized and referred pain.
Muscle Relaxation
The insertion of needles into tight or tense muscles can promote muscle relaxation. This can reduce muscle spasms, improve flexibility, and enhance overall muscle function.
Improved Range of Motion
By releasing muscle tension and reducing stiffness, dry needling can enhance joint mobility and improve range of motion. This is beneficial for individuals experiencing movement restrictions due to tight muscles or scar tissue.
Faster Recovery from Injuries
For athletes and active individuals recovering from injuries, dry needling can accelerate the healing process. It helps in reducing inflammation, promoting blood circulation to the injured area, and enhancing tissue repair.
Reduction in Muscle Tightness and Knots
Dry needling is effective in addressing myofascial trigger points, which are tight bands or knots in muscles that can cause pain and restrict movement. By releasing these trigger points, it can alleviate muscle tightness and improve muscle function.
Improvement in Muscle Performance
Athletes and sports enthusiasts can experience improved muscle performance following dry needling. It helps in reducing muscle fatigue, enhancing muscle activation patterns, and optimizing muscle coordination during physical activities.

Dry Needling is straight to the point. Our Team are highly trained and highly skilled to provide this treatment.
Dry Needling is an invasive procedure in which an acupuncture needle is inserted into a specific target soft tissue in order to improve or restore function and/or control pain. The introduction of a physical stimulus in the form of an acupuncture needle results in a healing process by relaxing the muscle spasm/ trigger point.
