Dry Needling & Manual Therapy

Dry Needling & Manual Therapy

Dry Needling and Manual Therapy are powerful techniques used to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore soft tissue function. At Move More Physiotherapy Clinic, Dr. Shivam Bhardwaj utilizes these advanced hands-on methods to target muscle tension, trigger points, joint stiffness, and chronic musculoskeletal issues—providing fast and lasting relief.

Dry needling involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific myofascial trigger points, stimulating a healing response that helps deactivate tight knots, reduce inflammation, and promote circulation. It is highly effective for conditions like neck pain, shoulder tightness, sciatica, tennis elbow, and fibromyalgia. Unlike acupuncture, this technique is grounded in Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles.

Manual therapy complements dry needling with a range of hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and muscle energy techniques. These help release restricted tissues, correct alignment issues, and improve joint movement. Manual therapy is often the key to addressing chronic stiffness and restoring normal biomechanics.

We combine both approaches with customized rehabilitation exercises to ensure the benefits are retained long-term. These techniques are always performed with precision and care, ensuring maximum effectiveness and comfort. Whether you’re recovering from injury or battling chronic pain, these therapies are instrumental in accelerating recovery and improving quality of life.
