Why District Performance & Physio For Dry Needling
At District Performance & Physio, dry needling is something we’ve been refining for years. With extensive experience and a commitment to delivering real results, we’ve helped over 1000 satisfied clients reduce pain, improve mobility, and get back to doing what they love.
Trigger Point Dry Needling
Trigger point dry needling is a targeted technique we use at District Performance & Physio to relieve muscular pain and restore movement. It involves inserting fine, sterile needles directly into tight bands of muscle—commonly known as "trigger points"—to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.
This method is especially effective for treating sports injuries, postural strain, and chronic tightness. By deactivating these trigger points, we help restore normal muscle function and support long-term recovery. Combined with our hands-on therapy and personalised exercise programs, trigger point dry needling offers fast, measurable results.
Non Trigger Point Dry Needling
At District Performance Physio, we offer non-trigger point dry needling as part of our holistic approach to muscle recovery and pain relief. Unlike traditional methods that focus solely on painful "knots" or trigger points, non-trigger point dry needling targets broader muscular patterns and surrounding tissue to calm the nervous system, reduce tension, and improve movement.
