Dry Needling is a targeted physiotherapy technique where fine, sterile needles are inserted into identified muscle trigger points to relieve tension.

This treatment is highly effective for reducing muscle pain, stiffness and tightness. You may notice a brief muscle twitch when a prominent trigger point is treated – a sign the muscle is responding.

Unlike traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture, which aims to balance energy flow, Dry Needling focuses on releasing localised muscle tension. 

The needles benefit a wide range of people, including athletes recovering from heavy training or injuries, office workers with chronic neck or shoulder tension and anyone experiencing muscle pain and tightness. 

All of our Experienced Active Solutions physiotherapists are fully qualified in Dry Needling and integrate it safely into treatment to support recovery and performance.
