At Poulter-Simon Physiotherapy, our dry needling treatment in Northcliff and Wilgeheuwel provides precise, targeted relief for muscle tension, trigger points, and chronic pain. Physiotherapists with additional qualifications in dry needling use this therapy to release tight muscle fibres, improve mobility, and assist recovery from sports injuries and postural strain. Whether you’re an athlete managing overuse injuries or seeking lasting pain relief, our physiotherapists in Johannesburg deliver professional, safe, and effective care – combining manual therapy, movement rehabilitation, and exercise prescription for optimal results.
“The best physical therapists that I have been to. They are friendly and approachable and professional and experienced in sports injury rehabilitation.”
Dry needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique used to relieve muscle pain and restore movement by targeting tight bands of muscle known as trigger points.
During a treatment, a trained physiotherapist inserts thin, sterile needles directly into these tense areas to stimulate a natural healing response, increase blood flow, and release muscle knots.
Dry needling therapy helps reduce inflammation, ease chronic tension, and improve overall muscle function – making it a safe and effective option for long-term pain relief and rehabilitation in Johannesburg and surrounding Gauteng areas.
