Support for Muscle Pain, Tightness and Movement

Dry needling is a physiotherapy technique used to help reduce muscle tightness, pain and trigger points. It involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific areas of tight or sensitive muscle tissue.

At Ultra Health Physiotherapy, dry needling may be used as part of a wider treatment plan to help improve movement, reduce discomfort and support recovery.

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves placing a fine needle into tight or irritated muscle areas, often called trigger points. These areas may contribute to pain, stiffness, headaches, reduced movement or muscle tension.

Dry needling is not a standalone treatment. It is usually combined with physiotherapy assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation and movement advice.

Is Dry Needling Right for Me?

Dry needling may not be suitable for everyone. Your physiotherapist will check your medical history and discuss any risks before treatment.

  • Are pregnant

  • Take blood-thinning medication

  • Have a bleeding disorder

  • Have a needle phobia

  • Have a skin infection or open wound

  • Feel unwell
