How Can Dry Needling Help You?
Dry needling is a specialised technique performed by qualified physiotherapists to treat myofascial trigger points — hyperirritable spots in muscle tissue that cause localised and referred pain. Fine acupuncture needles are inserted directly into these trigger points to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles.

Precision Treatment for Persistent Pain
At Activ Therapy, dry needling is always performed by qualified physiotherapists as part of a comprehensive treatment approach — not in isolation. Your physio will conduct a thorough assessment first, then combine dry needling with manual therapy, exercise prescription, and postural correction to deliver results that last. Dry needling is fast, effective, and typically comfortable for most patients.
