Dry Needling
is an advanced technique where thin needles are inserted into trigger points in the muscles to relieve pain and tension. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses on releasing muscle knots and improving movement. This method helps to stimulate healing, enhance blood flow, and reduce muscle tightness, making it a highly effective treatment for sports injuries and chronic pain conditions.
Dry Needling is widely acknowledged for its efficiency in treating muscle pain and tension. Our trained professionals are adept at identifying trigger points, providing a safe and effective way to relieve discomfort and promote recovery.

- Non-invasive pain relief
Cupping Therapy
Dry cupping therapy is a complementary technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which can enhance blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and promote overall healing and relaxation. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, it has become popular in various cultures.
Method:
- Cups: Made of glass, bamboo, or silicone, varying in size based on treatment areas.
- Suction Technique: Suction is created by heating air in the cup (traditional) or using a mechanical pump (modern), pulling the skin and underlying tissue into the cup.
- Duration: Cups are typically left in place for 5 to 15 minutes.
Benefits:
- Provides pain relief for muscles and joints.
- Improves circulation and detoxification through lymphatic drainage.
- May alleviate muscle tightness and enhance mobility.
Precautions:
- Possible temporary skin irritation or bruising.
- Not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions; consultation with a healthcare provider is advised.
- Treatment should be performed by qualified practitioners.
While some experience significant benefits from dry cupping, scientific evidence of its effectiveness remains limited, so discussing treatment options with a healthcare professional is recommended.
