Dry needling is a targeted technique used to reduce muscular tension, improve movement quality, and assist in managing persistent muscle-related pain. Using fine, sterile single-use needles, specific areas of muscle dysfunction are addressed to help normalise sensitivity and restore function.

Osteopaths are trained in a broad range of techniques including joint mobilisation, HVLA manipulation, soft tissue, myofascial release, muscle energy techniques (MET), counterstrain, functional and indirect techniques, balanced ligamentous tension (BLT), visceral techniques, and neural mobilisation.

Treatment is tailored to your individual presentation, with techniques selected based on clinical findings, safety considerations and your comfort level. The aim is to improve mobility, functional capacity and reduce pain.

Exercise programs are individually designed based on clinical findings, tissue capacity and movement patterns identified during assessment. Exercises may target strength, mobility, motor control and load tolerance, depending on your presentation and goals.

Clear instructions are provided to ensure safe technique and appropriate progression. Programs are reviewed and modified as required to reflect symptom response and functional improvement.

Exercise improves resilience and confidence in movement, and reduces recurrence risk.
