Myofascial Dry Needling
Release Muscle Knots. Relieve Pain. Restore Movement.
Myofascial Dry Needling at Areo Physio is an advanced physiotherapy technique used to treat muscle pain, tightness, and trigger points. This precise treatment helps release deep muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement, making it highly effective for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
What Is Myofascial Dry Needling?
Myofascial Dry Needling involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points (knots) that cause pain and restricted movement. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and neuro-muscular science and directly targets dysfunctional muscle tissue to promote healing.
