Often mistaken for acupuncture, dry needling is clinically quite different in its treatment objectives. Sometimes it is referred to as myofascial dry needling, but essentially this is the same thing. Dry needling is used to treat pain and movement impairments caused by abnormal functioning of the muscles.

As experts in anatomy and physiology, physiotherapists are well positioned to be able to provide dry needling, however additional post graduate education and training is required in order to safely perform dry needling. At BounceBack Physiotherapy all of our physiotherapists are able to provide dry needling having completed the necessary post graduate requirements.
