Dry needling can help with pain relief and muscle stiffness, as well as relaxing muscle spasms and knots to improve flexibility and reduce inflammation.
WHAT IS IT?
Dry Needling Services
Dry needling involves the use of thin filament needles to cause a muscular response, promoting blood flow and healing within a tissue. The needles used are the same as ‘acupuncture’ needles with a Western theory behind the treatment.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
An Alternative Technique
Dry needling is an alternative or adjunct treatment to other manual therapy techniques such as massage.
It allows for penetration of the deeper muscles and clients will sometimes get a muscle ‘twitch’ response.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
What can Leonie Mills Physio do for me?
We are trained to dry needle through peripheral muscles i.e. those of the upper and lower limbs.
