Our skilled and experienced physiotherapists understand how the body’s systems are connected and tailor treatment plans to suit your unique needs and circumstances. Whether it’s rehabilitating a sports injury, alleviating chronic back pain, or facilitating recovery from a stroke, our role is to enhance your quality of life by fostering improved mobility, greater independence, and holistic well-being.
Dry needling involves inserting thin needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into specific points on the body known as trigger points, which are areas of tightness and tenderness within muscles. Our physiotherapists typically insert these needles directly into the trigger points, causing a local twitch response, which can help release muscle tension and improve blood flow to the area.
Dry needling is believed to work by stimulating the body’s natural healing response and reducing pain signals sent to the brain. We often use dry needling in conjunction with other physiotherapy treatments as part of our comprehensive rehabilitation program.
At Tidal Health, trigger point therapy is a component of our physiotherapy treatments aimed at addressing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This approach can be highly effective in alleviating chronic pain, enhancing range of motion, and restoring functional movement patterns. However, it’s crucial to undergo trigger point therapy under the guidance of our trained healthcare professionals to ensure safe and effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.
