what is dry needling

A simple tool for stubborn muscle pain.

Dry needling uses very thin, sterile needles to target tight spots in a muscle. It can help ease pain and tension so the muscle can relax and move more freely.

Katy always talks you through it first and makes sure you're comfortable before she starts.
