I have mostly seen Aman, who has always provided great advice, physio exercises, manual manipulation and use of equipment to help aid in speedy recovery that gets me back to my daily activities. He has a background in soccer and a lot of experience with a range of activities. I am thoroughly impressed and would recommend this clinic to anyone – as I have to friends and family over the years!”

“Troy is an amazing physio and very knowledgeable person… I went three weeks ago with back pain and today I have recovered 100%… he walked me through the process of various exercises and how I can prevent back injury in the future… all the associates and the staff are very respectful and welcoming… Hi5 Troy! If I need any help in the future, you are my go to place… thanks for helping me… Cheers!”

“I would highly recommend Aspire Physiotherapy for both physio and massage therapy. Carrie always goes the extra mile, and is a very professional, caring and extremely competent physical therapist. I have recently been experiencing the expertise of Harman who gives an excellent therapeutic and relaxing massage, and is very personable. I would highly recommend her as well. Great to have both services in one location!”
– Lorraine T.
“It was my first time to get a treatment in a physio clinic, and it was an amazing experience. Starting from the reception, up to the Physical Therapist (Brit) who assessed and helped me to achieve the goals that we had set. It was well done and I am so happy with the result! She was very supportive, knowledgeable, and explained well. Thank you Aspire!
At first, I just based it on the ratings and reviews I had seen. Honestly, it was all true. I highly recommend this place!”
– Eleonor Q.

Dry Needling and How It Works

Functional dry needling (sometimes referred to as intramuscular stimulation or IMS) is a modern, science-based treatment that deals with musculoskeletal conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in your body. When your tissue is damaged, inflamed, or irritated, the nearby muscles tend to contract (this causes restriction of blood flow to the area).

The treatment works through inserting sterile needles into the painful knots in your muscles, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves. This, in turn, stimulates a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions. When the treatment is applied to a trigger point or dysfunctional muscles, it can reduce banding and tightness in your body. Dry needling increases blood flow and facilitates local and referred pain, while also treating and restoring function in your muscle tissue and helping to achieve a pain-free range of motion.

What Should I Expect From This Powerful Treatment Technique?

During your first session, your practitioner will review your medical history intensively and do a physical examination to determine if you will benefit from the individualized treatment. Your practitioner will then explain the process in detail and ensure that you will be receptive to the treatment.

A typical dry needling session takes around 10 to 15 minutes, but your appointment can last up to 45 minutes since dry needling is often incorporated as part of an overall physiotherapy treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may experience soreness right after treatment where your practitioner administered treatment. The soreness usually feels like the aftereffects of a hard workout at the gym. This might not happen, but it is a typical result. Soreness may begin in a few minutes, after a few hours, or the next day. To avoid or reduce soreness, we advise our patients to drink more water for the next 24 hours after your treatment.

You might notice bruising on areas such as shoulders, chest, face, and portions of the arms and legs as they are more likely to injure than others. If you notice bruising, grab an ice pack to help reduce inflammation and colouring!

You may feel tired, emotional, or even energized after your session.

  • Enhance your overall mobility and enjoy an active lifestyle. When your muscles and joints repeatedly perform the same repetitive movements, you tend to stress specific areas of your body.
  • Help your body recover and heal, so that your muscles and joints don’t tense up and affect your overall performance.
  • Enhances pain reduction levels and muscle tension This soothes the tension away from your muscles.
  • Encourages recovery by reducing pain levels, improving mobility, and thereby shortens recovery times. Therapeutic exercise may also be factored into your overall treatment program.

On average, patients require 3-5 treatments to recover, with severe cases needing 6-8 sessions. Typically, physiotherapy practitioners use dry needling once or twice per week.

Dry needling is entirely safe. You may experience a minor twitch response, but the process is generally painless. You can put your trust in our highly trained professionals to administer the treatment carefully and appropriately! Each needle is discarded after use, per medically approved standards and practices.
