Dry needling works by inserting fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points within muscles. These needles stimulate the muscle tissue, causing a brief contraction or twitch response that helps release tension, improve blood flow, and reset the muscle’s normal function.

The technique can help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support recovery from injury or strain. It’s commonly used for sports injuries, postural imbalances, and chronic muscular discomfort.

Dry needling is typically used alongside other hands-on techniques—like soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation.

Combining it with soft tissue work can enhance circulation, reduce residual tightness, and support the body’s natural healing response.

Dry needling is a fantastic tool—but can be most effective when integrated into a broader treatment plan tailored to your body’s needs. When booking your treatment we will ensure a range of techniques will be used, if needed.
