Myofascial Dry Needling draws on the ancient healing art of Acupuncture, targeting the body's "trigger-points" with super-fine acupuncture needles. Doing this 'deactivates' any muscle bundles that are acutely contracted, releasing the contraction. Dry Needling is anatomically focused and considers key areas of concern following an assessment by your therapist.

Some local pain or a feeling of tenderness is commonly experienced following a dry-needle treatment, this is easily alleviated using heat packs. Dry Needling is of benefit for patients who experience postural, holding-pattern and chronic-pain issues.

Dry Needling focuses on the location of soft muscle tissue pain and differs from Acupuncture in that a traditional medicine approach is not being used. In the context of our clinic, clients use Dry Needling to augment massage services. It is efficacious for the reduction of pain and muscle tension.
