Muscle pain and tightness can limit your movement and affect your daily life. Trigger points—tight knots within muscles—often cause discomfort, stiffness, and referred pain in other areas of the body. Dry needling therapy is an effective physiotherapy technique used to release these trigger points, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function.
Residents of Modbury North and surrounding areas can access expert dry needling treatment at Pax Physiotherapy. Our experienced physiotherapists provide personalised care to target muscle pain and support long-term recovery. Learn more about our approach on the About Us page.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique that involves inserting fine needles into trigger points within muscles. This helps release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.
It is commonly used to treat:
Muscle tightness and knots
Neck, shoulder, and back pain
Sports-related muscle injuries
Chronic pain conditions
Postural and repetitive strain issues
How Dry Needling Helps Relieve Pain
Dry needling works by targeting the root cause of muscle pain rather than just the symptoms. It helps:
Release tight muscle bands (trigger points)
Improve circulation and promote healing
Reduce inflammation and muscle tension
Restore normal movement and flexibility
Decrease referred pain patterns
