dry needling at Podium Physiotherapy

A treatment technique that involves inserting acupuncture needles into specific areas of tight muscles to stimulate trigger points and release muscle tension and or pain.

During this treatment you may feel the muscle twitch or contract. This in the long term can help reduce muscle tension, improve range and relieve pain. There are a wide range of conditions where dry needling may be beneficial alongside a physiotherapy rehab program. These include but are not limited to:

  • Muscle pain with the presence of trigger points
  • Breaking down scar tissue following a muscle tear/strain
  • Reducing muscle tightness post immobilisation e.g. surgery or fracture
  • Reducing nerve pain which is the result of neural tension
  • The treatment of conditions such as ITB syndrome and hip flexor pain
