What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a technique used by physiotherapists to address muscular pain and tension. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into trigger points or tight bands of muscle tissue.
This treatment aims to elicit a twitch response, which may help relieve muscle tension and improve range of motion. Dry needling is often used in conjunction with other physiotherapy techniques to provide a comprehensive approach to managing musculoskeletal issues, such as:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Knee pain
- Headaches & migraines
- Sports injuries
At Return to Performance Physiotherapy, we utilise dry needling as part of our personalised treatment plans for clients with a variety of musculoskeletal issues.
