Dry Needling

Small acupuncture needles are carefully placed and guided directly into the trigger points or knots which are located in a tight muscle. The needles are left in place for 5-15 minutes and during this period of time the trigger points slowly start to decrease due to the fresh blood flow which is encouraged by the needles in place. This makes the muscle more supple and helps it to relax. Your session will finish off with some light soft tissue massage to further encourage muscle relaxation & reduce tension.

If you are looking for an alternative way to treat any chronic muscle injury or tension that you cant seem to shift then see one of our therapist who can incorporate dry needling into your treatment. Additional texhniques such as connecting Tens machine to the needles , or moving them around are also used to increase bloodflow. All treatments are tailored to your needs to help return you to pain free movement.
