Dry Needling

The aim of Dry Needling is to reduce muscle pain and dysfunction by releasing tight areas in the muscle known as myofascial trigger points.
These are tender nodules within taut bands of muscle. Normal muscle does not contain these taut bands.
These trigger points can develop as a result of overload in a muscle, overuse due to poor postures or repetitive loading, or when the body is stressed and tense.

Dry needling directly treats the body’s neuromuscular system. The needles used are “dry” meaning they have no ability to inject or withdraw fluid & this technique was first described scientifically in the 1970s.
