Dry Needling is a general term for a treatment procedure that involves inserting a disposable, sterile, monofilament needle into a muscle that is producing pain and typically contains a trigger point (knot).  Dry needling is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, rehabilitation from injury, and even pain and injury prevention.

Acupuncture is used, using the same type of needles, but the difference is that the needles are put in specific points on the body, to open up the meridians/channels that Traditional Chinese Medicine   specify.  We can use acupuncture  for specific joint or muscle problems. 

Traditional cupping is an ancient Eastern practice, working with the meridians of the body, using glass cups and a naked flame to heat the cup (fire cupping), placing them on the body to produce a suction vacuum. There has been an adaptation of it though, for western use, with regards to sports enhancement.

You've seen the funky coloured tape that sports people are wearing, well we can apply it to you and teach you how to put it on yourself, saving you time and money.
