Dry needling is one of the treatment techniques available at our practice. It is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles. Fine acupuncture style needles are placed into muscle trigger points to influence the musculoskeletal and nervous system. A trigger point is an irritable area within a muscle that can be felt as a tight band or nodule. The needle is inserted into this area to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension and assist in restoring normal movement.

Dry needling is currently offered at our clinic by physiotherapists Tom Henry, Jade Basham, Brittany Bourne and Boston Cavanagh.

Dry needling is often used alongside manual therapy and exercise based rehab for a faster reduction in pain and improved function.
