Myofascial dry needling is a technique used to treat tight or painful muscles. Very fine needles are inserted into specific trigger points within
the muscle to help reduce tension, improve muscle function, and relieve pain. Many people find it helpful for persistent muscle tightness or chronic pain conditions.
Your practitioner will always explain the treatment beforehand and ensure you are comfortable before proceeding.

and assist with reducing muscle tension. Temporary circular marks may
appear on the skin after treatment, which typically fade within a few
days.

muscles, may feel slightly uncomfortable at times. Your practitioner
