Dry-needling

Dry Needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction.

What is ‘dry-needling’?

It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into or near myofascial trigger points — tight, sensitive areas within muscles — to stimulate a healing response. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is grounded in Western medical principles and focuses on anatomy and physiology.

Dry needling may be recommended when clients experience:

  • Persistent muscle pain or tightness
  • Restricted range of motion
  • Referred pain from trigger points
  • Postural imbalances or movement dysfunction
  • Overuse injuries or chronic strain

Trigger points can develop due to injury, poor posture, repetitive stress, or neurological conditions. T

At Physio Matters, dry-needling is offered as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and may include:

  • Targeted needle insertion to release muscle tension and deactivate trigger points
  • Local twitch response stimulation to reset muscle activation patterns
  • Improved blood flow and tissue healing
  • Pain relief and increased mobility
  • Integration with exercise therapy and manual techniques

The needles used are solid and do not inject any substance — hence the term “dry.” The technique helps restore normal muscle function, reduce pain, and support recovery from injury or chronic conditions.

If you or someone you care for is experiencing muscle pain or movement issues, dry- needling may be an effective option. Contact us to book an assessment or speak to one of our team.
