Dry Needling
Dry Needling is now available with Trina Woodcock. Dry Needling is gentle treatment that can be especially effective for releasing myofascial and muscle tension. It aims to treat myofascial trigger points within the body that present as a hyperirritable spot with the muscle. The use of a solid filament needle stimulates a local twitch response within the muscle, allowing the body’s biochemistry to produce a natural analgesic (pain relief).
What are the benefits of dry needling?
Accelerates your body's natural healing processes
Promotes circulation to the treated area
Increasing blood flow and oxygen to the treated area
Balances pH levels within the treated area
Releases trigger points
Reduces the sensitisation caused by the trigger points by promoting a release of natural analgesics.
Each treatment will be a combination of manual therapy and dry needling depending on the presentation. If you have any questions regarding whether dry needling is right for you, please contact Trina for more information on trina@bodyofwork.co.nz
