-

-
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points or knots in muscles, tendons, or connective tissues. This minimally invasive procedure aims to alleviate muscle pain, improve flexibility and promote healing by releasing tension and stimulating the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling primarily focuses on addressing muscular issues and is often used in conjunction with other physical therapy treatments.
-
Cupping
Cupping is an alternative therapy that involves placing specialised cups on the skin's surface to create a suction effect. This suction draws the skin and underlying tissues upward into the cup, which can help promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and release toxins. Cupping is often used to address pain, inflammation, and muscular discomfort.
