Understanding Muscle Knots & Tightness
Muscle knots, also known as trigger points, are tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. These knots often develop due to overuse, poor posture, or injury.
Common Causes of Muscle Knots:
- Prolonged sitting or desk work
- Poor posture
- Repetitive movements
- Sports injuries
- Stress and muscle tension
- Lack of physical activity
If left untreated, muscle knots can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues.
What is Dry Needling Therapy?
Dry needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique that targets trigger points within muscles using thin, sterile needles. This helps release tension, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, dry needling focuses specifically on musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction.
How Dry Needling Helps Muscle Knots
Dry needling directly addresses the source of muscle tightness.
Key Benefits Include:
- Releases trigger points
- Reduces muscle stiffness

This leads to faster recovery and improved mobility.
