Dry Needling

Dry Needling in Norwich
Dry needling involves the therapist inserting fine needles into the skin and muscle tissue at precise trigger points. These points are areas of tightness or “knots” that contribute to pain and restricted movement. The insertion of the needles stimulates the central nervous system and muscles, promoting relaxation and releasing tension.
Dry needling is effective in reducing muscular pain and discomfort, improving range of motion and muscle flexibility, it also helps to aid in the recovery from injuries and chronic conditions. It is a complementary therapy and is offered alongside our other treatments such as sports or deep tissue massage.
Benefits include;

Targeted Muscle Relief
Trigger points within muscles, often knots or bands of tight muscle fibers, can contribute to pain, restricted movement, and overall discomfort. The insertion of needles prompts a localised response, encouraging a release of tension and stress within the muscles.

Improved Blood Circulation
The insertion of needles triggers a localised inflammatory response, boosting blood flow to the targeted area. This increase in circulation facilitates the delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen, promoting accelerated healing.

Enhanced Range of Motion
Dry needling aids in the reduction of muscle restrictions, contributing to improved flexibility and a broader range of motion, essential for athletes and active individuals.

Pain Reduction
Dry needling stimulates sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles, resulting in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins. This can significantly alleviate discomfort, making it an invaluable tool for those recovering from injuries or managing chronic pain conditions.
