Discover the Benefits of Dry Needling — Now Available at Practically Perfect PT!
At Practically Perfect PT, we’re always looking for new ways to help our patients move, feel, and live better. We’re excited to announce that we now offer dry needling as part of our comprehensive physical therapy services — including for pelvic floor care!
If you’ve been dealing with persistent muscle tightness, trigger points, or nagging aches that just won’t go away, dry needling might be the missing piece in your treatment plan.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a skilled therapy performed by licensed physical therapists trained in this technique. It involves gently inserting a very thin, sterile filament needle into tight muscles, trigger points, or areas of tension. Unlike acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine principles, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and neurophysiology.
The goal is to “reset” the muscle, release knots, improve blood flow, and reduce pain — helping you move more freely and heal faster.
Benefits of Dry Needling
Our patients often experience:
✅ Relief from muscle tension and tightness
✅ Decreased pain in problem areas
✅ Improved range of motion
✅ Quicker recovery from injuries
✅ Better outcomes when combined with exercise and manual therapy
Dry needling can be especially helpful for:
Neck and back pain
Headaches and migraines
Sports injuries
Tendon pain
Chronic muscle tightness
Joint pain caused by muscular imbalance
Pelvic pain, hip pain, and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction
Dry Needling for Pelvic Floor Conditions
Many people are surprised to learn that dry needling can also be a powerful tool for addressing pelvic floor muscle issues. Conditions such as pelvic pain, painful intercourse, chronic hip or low back pain, and even some types of incontinence can be linked to tight, overactive, or trigger-pointed pelvic floor muscles.
When appropriate, our certified pelvic health therapists can use dry needling to help release these tight areas, decrease muscle guarding, and improve coordination and relaxation of the pelvic floor. Combined with gentle manual therapy, guided exercise, and education, dry needling can be a game changer for people seeking relief from pelvic floor dysfunction.
