“As a recreational athlete, I have dabbled in everything from Crossfit, Triathlon to boxing, and my shoulder has been a hinderance to all! It wasn’t until after I began treatment at LivingWell that I could train without the constant attention being on my painful shoulder.”

Manual Therapy FAQ
-
Dry needling uses a monofilament needle which is very thin and flexible. This allows for the needle to be pushed through the skin versus cutting into the skin. This creates a virtually pain-free insertion. When the needle comes in contact with a trigger point, a local twitch response may be elicited. This is normal and only lasts a few seconds.
-
Most people experience immediate relief of their symptoms, however soreness is a common response from the needling. The soreness, if present, will usually only last 1-2 days. Stretching, movement, and proper hydration post session will help manage the soreness.

It truly depends on what areas of the body that your physical therapist will be working on. Usually shorts and/or sports bra work best. In the clinic, you will be in a private treatment room as privacy for our patients is a top priority.
