What dry needling does

Skin is alcohol-swabbed, the physiotherapist palpates to the trigger point, inserts a needle (typically 30–50mm depending on muscle depth), and applies piston-like movement until twitch responses stop or fade. A session uses 3–8 needles across relevant muscles, and typically takes 10–20 minutes of actual needling within a 30–45 minute appointment.
