Dry needling & kinesio taping
ड्राई नीडलिंग · टेपिंग
Targeted release of tight, painful muscle knots and supportive taping during recovery — used as part of your physiotherapy plan, only when it is suitable for you.
Dry needling uses very thin, sterile, single-use needles placed into tight bands or “trigger points” in a muscle. It is different from acupuncture in its reasoning, and is used to help reduce muscle tightness and pain so that you can move and exercise more comfortably.
Kinesio taping uses a stretchy tape applied to the skin to give support and comfort during recovery — for example to an ankle, knee, shoulder or back. Neither technique is a stand-alone treatment; they work best combined with exercise and hands-on therapy.

Is dry needling painful?
Most people feel a brief twitch or a mild ache in the muscle. Some soreness for a day or so afterwards is common. It is done only if suitable for you, and we explain it before starting.
Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?
Both use thin needles, but dry needling is based on modern muscle and nerve anatomy and targets specific muscle trigger points as part of physiotherapy.
How long does kinesio tape stay on?
Usually a few days, depending on the area and your skin. We will tell you how to care for it and when to remove it.
