Dry Needling
Very thin needles used to release tight muscle knots and reduce pain.
How It Works
Fine, sterile needles are placed into tight muscle knots (called trigger points) to release the tension and ease the pain that spreads from them. Not the same as acupuncture.
Key benefits
- Effective for long-standing muscle tightness
- Done by trained physiotherapists
- Works well combined with exercise
- Uses very thin, single-use needles
What We Will Do
Find The Trigger Points
We identify the exact muscle knots causing your pain or restricting movement.
Explain Everything
We tell you what to expect and get your consent before we start.
Needle Placement
Thin needles are placed briefly into the tight spots — you may feel a small twitch, which is a good sign.
Movement Right After
We finish with gentle movement so the released muscle relearns how to work well.
