Achieve Quicker Results with Targeted Dry Needling
We integrate dry needling into your treatment plan when we identify deep, irritated muscle fibers—known as myofascial trigger points—that are disrupting your movement and contributing to lower-limb issues like heel pain, shin splints, or knee pain.
By precisely targeting these knots, dry needling provides a powerful stimulus to:
Reduce Pain Immediately: The technique often brings instant relief by relaxing overactive, spasming muscles.
Restore Movement: Releasing tension allows the muscle to return to its normal length, improving flexibility and range of motion around joints.
Enhance Rehabilitation: By “clearing” the tight spots, dry needling creates a critical window where your body can better perform the strengthening and stability exercises necessary for long-term recovery.
What is the Dry Needling Approach?
Dry needling is a highly effective, evidence-based method focused on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles.
- How We Do It: A very fine, sterile filament needle is gently inserted directly into the core of the trigger point. This elicits a quick, localized twitch response that signals the muscle to fully relax.
- Safety and Expertise: All dry needling at Move More Physiotherapy is performed by our specially trained Physiotherapists who have completed accredited, post-graduate certification in this technique. We use it safely as part of a comprehensive program tailored to your specific condition and goals.
*Do not confuse dry needling with traditional Chinese acupuncture. While we use the same type of needles, our assessment and treatment are based strictly on modern medical science and the principles of musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Is Dry Needling Right for My Condition?
Dry needling is an extremely effective tool for treating muscular pain and dysfunction throughout the body, and it is particularly beneficial when managing lower-limb pain related to biomechanics. If you are dealing with chronic pain or stiffness that hasn’t responded fully to other manual techniques, speak to your Move More Physiotherapist to see if targeted dry needling can be integrated into your plan to unlock a faster recovery.Our Services
