FAQ’S About Dry Needling

  • Dry Needling is a safe and effective approach to improving muscle and myofascial pain. It has been clinically demonstrated to reduce pain, spasm, and tension while also increasing range of motion and improving functional performance. Studies have further shown that Dry Needling is an effective way to treat acute/chronic musculoskeletal pain, reduce inflammation, improve tissue healing, decrease scar tissue formation, and more.


  • The effects of dry needling can last for days or even weeks. Depending on the injury and other factors, your physiotherapist may find that regular dry needling sessions are needed to keep your body in balance. Regular dry needling treatments can help prevent recurring injuries and help you stay fit, healthy and active longer.

  • It is safe to exercise the next day after dry needling if you are not too sore. It is common to feel some heaviness and tenderness in the dry needled area post treatment however exercising the muscle soon after will not cause any harm. Some clients report that being active soon after treatment has helped relieve the tension so it is a case by case scenario. Above all, listen to your body and what it needs posts treatment.

  • Dry needling can cause a slight discomfort, but it should never be painful. Your physiotherapist will aim to find the optimal treatment level; one that allows you to feel the needling and benefit from it, but not suffer through any pain.

  • I never assume a certain technique will be best for a client without discussing options with you first. If you have a phobia to needles or feel tense around the thought of having dry needling, then there are other options to treat your soft tissue without the anxiety. I offer a wide variety of services and will always work with you to decide what your body intuitively needs.
