If you're experiencing muscle tightness, pain, or restricted movement, dry needling could be the solution you need. At Dooney Physiotherapy and Performance, our expert physiotherapists use dry needling to provide targeted relief by addressing the root cause of discomfort. Whether you're managing chronic tension or recovering from an injury, our team is here to help restore your mobility and ease your pain.
​
What is Dry Needling?
​
Dry needling is a specialised treatment technique where fine, sterile needles are inserted into trigger points (muscle knots) to relieve tension, stimulate circulation, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses specifically on musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
