Service Overview
Dry needling and cupping are therapeutic techniques designed to treat muscle dysfunction, tightness, and inflammation. Often used as part of a broader rehabilitation or pain management plan, these approaches provide powerful relief when conventional stretching or massage falls short.
- Dry Needling: Uses fine, sterile needles to deactivate trigger points and relieve muscle knots.
- Cupping Therapy: Applies suction to lift tissue, stimulate blood flow, and detoxify fascia layers.
Both methods are safe when performed by a trained physiotherapist and can complement manual therapy, exercise, or electrotherapy treatments.
When It’s Recommended
- Persistent muscle tightness or knots
- Trigger point-related pain (shoulders, neck, back)
- Reduced flexibility or movement restriction
- Post-exercise soreness or fatigue
- Chronic musculoskeletal conditions (e.g. fibromyalgia, myofascial pain)
- Sports recovery and performance optimization
Why It Works
Dry Needling:
- Targets hard-to-reach muscle tension deep below the surface
- Stimulates healing and resets neuromuscular firing
- Often produces instant release and pain relief
- Helps improve muscle activation and movement efficiency
Cupping Therapy:
- Increases local blood flow and lymphatic drainage
- Releases fascial restrictions and adhesions
- Relieves inflammation and promotes relaxation
- Leaves circular marks temporarily—indicating improved circulation and detox
What to Expect
- Comprehensive assessment to determine target areas
- Clean, controlled application of needles or cups
- Tingling, twitching, or suction sensation during therapy
- Immediate muscle softness or relaxation following treatment
- Post-session guidance on hydration and mobility exercises
Duration: Typically 30–45 minutes, depending on treatment area and goals
Long-Term Benefits
- Reduced pain and tightness
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Faster recovery from physical activity or injury
- Enhanced muscle function and posture
- Support for deeper healing when integrated with rehab plans
