Fast, Effective Relief for Muscle Pain and Tension

Dry Needling

What we treat & how we work

Dry needling uses fine acupuncture-style needles inserted directly into myofascial trigger points — tight, hypersensitive knots within muscle tissue that refer pain to other areas of the body. The technique causes a brief local twitch response that releases the trigger point and reduces pain.

The needles are tiny — far finer than the needles used for injections or blood tests. The intensity of treatment is tailored to each person, ranging from almost pain-free to more intense needling sessions, depending on your condition and what you are comfortable with. This makes dry needling a great starting point for reducing pain sensitivity.

At Move Physiotherapy, dry needling is used as part of a broader treatment plan — never in isolation. It's particularly effective for stubborn pain that hasn't responded to massage or other manual therapy alone, and is regularly combined with exercise rehabilitation for lasting results.
