  • Focus: “Hands-on” recovery

  • Best for: Ongoing rehab and pain management.

Dry Needling Services

Clinical Dry Needling

  • We utilize evidence-based Dry Needling to deactivate myofascial trigger points and reset neuromuscular tension. This is one of our most effective tools for rapid pain relief and restoring movement

  • How it works: Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses specifically on the ‘knots’ in muscles that cause referred pain and stiffness.

  • What it treats: Ideal for chronic neck tension, persistent glute/hip pain, calf tightness in runners, and tension headaches.

  • The Result: Immediate reduction in muscle “guarding,” allowing for more effective exercise rehab and faster recovery.

Clinical Note: At Merryn Aldridge Physiotherapy, we only use single-use, sterile, high-quality needles. Dry needling is always integrated into a broader clinical plan to ensure the pain doesn’t just go away, but stays away.
