Dry Needling
A Targeted Approach to Muscle Pain and Dysfunction
Dry needling is a clinically proven technique used by qualified physiotherapists to treat muscular pain, tightness, and movement impairments. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into myofascial trigger points—commonly referred to as “knots”—to relieve tension, improve mobility, and support recovery.
At our clinic, dry needling is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs. It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:
- Muscle pain or tightness
- Tendon and joint issues
- Sports or overuse injuries
- Headaches and neck pain
- Chronic pain conditions
How Does It Work?
Dry needling works by targeting the underlying trigger points or areas of muscular dysfunction that may not be accessible through hands-on techniques alone. The insertion of the needle stimulates a local twitch response in the muscle, helping to reset the muscle to its normal resting state. This can lead to reduced pain, increased blood flow, improved flexibility, and faster recovery.
Is Dry Needling Safe?
Yes. When performed by an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist trained in dry needling, the procedure is considered safe and effective. All needles used are single-use, sterile, and disposed of immediately after treatment. Patients may experience mild soreness or temporary bruising following a session, which typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
What’s the Difference Between Dry Needling and Acupuncture?
While both techniques use similar needles, dry needling is based on modern Western science and anatomy. It specifically targets muscular trigger points, whereas acupuncture follows a meridian theory and traditional Chinese medicine principles. Your physiotherapist will determine whether dry needling is appropriate as part of your treatment plan based on your condition and clinical presentation.
Why Choose Us for Dry Needling?
With over 20 years of clinical experience, our physiotherapy team offers expert care and a patient-centred approach. Dry needling is integrated into a broader rehabilitation strategy, which may include manual therapy, exercise prescription, and other physiotherapy techniques to achieve lasting outcomes.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
A Non-invasive pain relief and tissue healing
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as cold laser therapy, is a safe, painless and non-invasive treatment used by physiotherapists to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. It is commonly used to assist with both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
LLLT involves the application of low-intensity laser light to targeted areas of the body. The light penetrates the skin and interacts with damaged tissues at the cellular level, stimulating natural healing processes without causing heat or damage. It can improve circulation, reduce swelling, and accelerate cell repair.
This therapy is well-suited for:
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Muscle strains and joint pain
- Arthritis and inflammatory conditions
- Nerve-related pain
- Wound healing and scar management
How Does It Work?
The laser emits specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by cells, enhancing cellular energy production and promoting tissue regeneration. This process helps to decrease inflammation, improve blood flow, and speed up recovery.
Treatments are quick, generally lasting only a few minutes per area, and are completely painless. Many patients report feeling a gentle warmth or nothing at all during the session.
Is LLLT Safe?
Yes. Low-Level Laser Therapy is backed by clinical research and considered safe when applied by a qualified practitioner. It does not use heat, cause tissue damage, or have known side effects. Our physiotherapists are trained in laser therapy and will assess your condition to determine if it's suitable for your treatment plan.
Why Choose Our Clinic for Laser Therapy?
With over 20 years of experience in physiotherapy care, our clinic combines proven treatments like LLLT with personalised, hands-on rehabilitation strategies. Laser therapy may be used in conjunction with manual therapy, exercise programs, dry needling, or taping—depending on your specific needs and goals.
Whether you’re recovering from injury or managing chronic pain, Low-Level Laser Therapy may help you get back to doing what you love—sooner.
Kinesiology & Active Taping
Support, stability and movement without restriction
Kinesiology taping (also known as active taping) is a therapeutic technique used by physiotherapists to provide support and stability to joints and muscles—without limiting movement. It is widely used in sports and rehabilitation to aid recovery, reduce pain, and improve function.
At our clinic, kinesiology and active taping are integrated into broader treatment plans to support healing and enhance physical performance.
What is Kinesiology Taping?
Kinesiology tape is a stretchy, breathable, and skin-friendly tape that mimics the natural elasticity of skin and muscles. Unlike rigid strapping, it allows for full range of motion while gently lifting the skin to improve circulation, lymphatic drainage, and proprioceptive feedback.
This technique is commonly used for:
- Muscle strain and joint pain
- Swelling and bruising
- Tendonitis and overuse injuries
- Postural support
- Injury prevention during activity
How Does It Help?
Kinesiology taping works by providing subtle support to the affected area, reducing pressure on injured tissues, and enhancing the body’s natural healing response. It also helps improve awareness of movement (proprioception), which can prevent further injury and support better motor control.
Taping can be worn for several days at a time, including during physical activity, showers, and daily routines.
Is It Right for You?
Kinesiology taping is suitable for people of all ages and activity levels. It can be used as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy plan, alongside manual therapy, exercise prescription, or modalities such as dry needling or laser therapy.
Your physiotherapist will assess your condition and demonstrate correct taping application to ensure optimal support and comfort.
