The Muscle Junction

Physical Therapy has similar objectives to Physiotherapy but focuses more on Sports and musculoskeletal injuries and uses more manual treatment techniques such as pressure point therapy and sports massage. Sports Massage is a specialised skilful form of massage releasing muscular tension and preventing injury to the muscular skeletal system as well as assisting with recovery from existing injuries. Pressure point and other massage techniques will be used as appropriate
Dry needling uses a very fine, solid filament needle to cause a small, precise injury or “lesion” in the tissue when it enters the body. The tiny needle induces injury signals the brain uses to initiate a sequence of events to replace or repair the damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue. Needling in a painful ‘trigger point’ or muscular knot frequently provokes a “twitch” response from the muscle. This is both diagnostic as well as therapeutic, because healthy muscle tissue will not “twitch” when stimulated by the needle. Once a “twitch” response has been elicited, the muscle fibers in that area relax, ‘inflammation’ is reduced and circulation improves. As a result of these physiologic processes, dry needling can purposely address muscle, tendon and myofascial pain and dysfunction.
