What Is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a targeted pain relief technique that uses thin, sterile needles to release tight muscle knots (trigger points) and improve mobility. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, dry needling follows a Western approach, focusing on muscle dysfunction and pain relief.
At Christopher’s Remedial Massage, we use dry needling to reduce pain, enhance movement, and support injury recovery, helping you get back to feeling your best.
Key Benefits of Dry Needling Therapy
- Releases muscle knots by easing deep-seated tension and discomfort.
- Enhances flexibility and mobility by loosening stiff muscles and improving movement.
- Speeds up recovery by promoting blood flow and healing for faster relief.
- Pinpoints pain at the source by targeting trigger points to address the root cause.
- Works well with massage therapy to complement remedial and sports massage for better results.

How Dry Needling Works
- Assessment & Muscle Examination
Your therapist begins with a consultation to identify areas of pain or tension. They will gently examine your muscles to locate tight knots or trigger points. - Needle Insertion
A fine, sterile needle is inserted into the trigger point using a specialised guide for precision. Pressure is carefully adjusted to your comfort level. - Muscle Response (Twitch Effect)
A quick, involuntary muscle twitch may occur, indicating effective trigger point stimulation. This helps release tension and improve mobility. - Needle Adjustment
The therapist may slightly reposition or adjust the needle to target deeper or more superficial layers, depending on your needs. - Removal & Aftercare
The needle is withdrawn, and the area is gently compressed to reduce soreness. You’ll receive guidance on hydration, stretching, and self-care to extend the benefits of your session.
Note: If you are sensitive to deep needling or prone to cramps, superficial dry needling may be recommended.
