For office workers, athletes and residents in Dunedin dealing with pain, repetitive strain or sports injuries, dry needling offers fast and effective relief. At Physio Performance Physiotherapy, our team has been providing dry needling for over 20 years, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with physiotherapy services.
Dry needling uses very fine, single-use needles to stimulate nerve fibres and release muscular trigger points. This process improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and speeds up the body’s natural healing response.

Although both use thin needles, dry needling has shown positive outcomes in treating myofascial (muscle fascial - connective tissue) pain, particularly for trigger points.
