MANUAL THERAPY
DRY NEEDLING
Dry needling is a technique employed by physiotherapists involving the insertion of a dry needle into a muscle to target specific trigger points. It is used to diagnose and treat neuromuscular pain and deficits in functional movement. It is primarily directed at myofascial trigger points within muscle tissue, as opposed to acupuncture which has point specificity to body location based on a meridian system and the manipulation of the body’s energy.
