Common questions

Dry needling FAQs

What is dry needling?

Dry needling uses fine, solid needles placed into tight or painful muscle areas to help reduce pain and improve movement. It is used alongside other physiotherapy treatment.

Is it the same as acupuncture?

No. Dry needling is used by physiotherapists based on anatomy and how muscles and nerves behave, rather than traditional Chinese medicine principles.

Does it hurt?

Most people feel a brief twitch or deep ache in the muscle, which usually settles quickly. Tell us at any point if you would like to stop or adjust.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed to book a private appointment. If your treatment is covered by a claim, bring your claim details to your first visit.

Can I book an evening or Saturday appointment?

Yes — Monday to Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
