MYOFASCIAL DRY NEEDLING
Discover relief from muscle pain and tension with Myofascial Dry Needling. My specialised technique offers a non-invasive solution to address muscular dysfunction and promote healing, providing you with renewed comfort and mobility.
​
Myofascial Dry Needling is a targeted approach to releasing muscle tension and restoring function, and is especially effective at treating chronic tension and the deeper layers of muscle tissue. By gently inserting thin needles into trigger points within muscles, tendons, or fascia, I stimulate the body's natural healing response, facilitating pain relief and improved movement.

During your Myofascial Dry Needling session at Strong Therapy, you can expect a gentle and precise treatment designed to address your specific areas of discomfort. Many clients experience immediate relief and relaxation as tension is released and circulation improves.

What is Myofascial Dry Needling?

During a Myofascial Dry Needling session, your skilled therapist will identify areas of muscle tightness or dysfunction and gently insert the needles into the targeted areas.
