Dry Needling Physiotherapy

Real pain relief for muscle tightness and injuries.

What Is Dry Needling Treatment?

Dry needling is a targeted treatment where a thin, sterile needle is inserted into tight muscle bands, known as trigger points, to release tension and ease pain. Physiotherapists trained in trigger point dry needling use this technique alongside manual therapy to treat myofascial pain, muscle spasm, and muscle knots that limit your movement and slow tissue healing after injury, surgery, or overuse.

Who May Not Suit Dry Needling

Pregnant Women: Certain areas need extra caution, so tell us if you are pregnant.
People With Bleeding Disorders: Needling may increase bruising risk, so tell your physiotherapist first.
People With Needle Phobia: If needles worry you, we can discuss other suitable options.
Active Skin Infections Or Wounds: Needling near infected or broken skin is not advised yet.
People On Blood-Thinning Medication: Tell us about your medication, since needling can affect clotting.

Skilled Dry Needling Physio Care, Genuine Results

With 8+ years in the health industry, our physiotherapists use evidence-based treatment and a personalised muscle strain treatment plan to help you recover from pain and injury more effectively.

Our Dry Needling Treatment Process

From your first physiotherapy assessment to your final follow-up session, we guide you through every single step of dry needling treatment with care and clarity.

Physiotherapy Assessment

We start with a full physiotherapy assessment to understand your pain, movement patterns, and medical history before planning your personalised muscle strain treatment approach.

Identifying Trigger Points

Your physiotherapist locates taut muscle bands and trigger points causing pain, using manual therapy and palpation to pinpoint your treatment areas precisely.

Needle Insertion Technique

A thin, sterile needle is inserted into the taut muscle band to trigger a twitch response, releasing tension within the neuromuscular system.

Muscle Activation & Response

You may feel a brief twitch or ache as your muscle responds, signalling muscle activation and the beginning of natural muscle relaxation.

Blood Circulation & Tissue Healing

Dry needling physiotherapy improves blood circulation around treated muscles, supporting faster tissue healing and helping your body recover from strain, injury, or surgery.

Ongoing Review & Progress

We review your progress at each session and adjust your treatment plan as needed, matching your dry needling treatment to your recovery.
