Dry Needling
- Dry needling utilises a solid filament needle, similar to what is used for oriental acupuncture. The process by which the needles are utilised differs however. Dry needling focuses on reducing /eliminating overactivity in certain muscle groups which may have become overactive or tight due to injury or activity. Your physiotherapist will often offer you this service during a physiotherapy consult (at no extra charge) if they feel you may benefit from it.
