May be incorporated into remedial massage treatment where appropriate

Book This TreatmentWhat Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling involves inserting a fine needle into a specific area of muscle tissue. The technique is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles and is distinct from acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling may be used to work with areas of muscular tension identified during assessment. As with all treatments at Sana, whether dry needling is incorporated into your session depends on your individual assessment, presentation, treatment goals, and suitability.

Who Is It For?
Dry needling may be appropriate for some clients experiencing muscular tension or discomfort where assessment findings suggest it may be a useful addition to treatment. Suitability depends on your individual health history, presentation, and any relevant contraindications. Your therapist will take a thorough health history before treatment and will advise you if dry needling is not appropriate for you.
What to Expect
Dry needling is performed as an add-on to a remedial massage session. Your therapist will discuss the technique and any relevant precautions with you before proceeding. The needles used are very fine. You may feel a local sensation at the needling site, which may include a brief muscle response. The most common side effect is temporary muscular tenderness following treatment, which typically resolves within a day or two. Less common side effects can include bruising. Please discuss any concerns with your therapist before treatment.
