Dry Needling
At Thurgood Physiotherapy in Port Macquarie, this therapy is integrated into your personalised physiotherapy plan.
Dry needling is safe, evidence-based, and performed by trained physiotherapists as part of a broader treatment approach to get you moving better.
If you’re experiencing muscle knots, stiffness, or pain that affects your movement or daily activities, dry needling may help as part of a physiotherapy program. Our physiotherapists use this technique to:
- Release muscle tension. Targeted treatment for trigger points and persistent muscle knots.
- Reduce pain and discomfort. Effective relief for chronic muscle pain and stiffness.
- Improve your flexibility. Expert techniques to restore movement and range of motion.
- Support injury recovery. Faster rehabilitation after sports injuries or muscle trauma.
- Enhance muscle function. Practical therapy to support long-term recovery and prevent re-injury.
Dry needling is non-invasive and is commonly combined with manual therapy, exercise programs, and education to support long-term recovery and prevent re-injury.
