Evidence-based dry needling to release trigger points, reduce muscle tension, and improve function.
Dry needling uses fine, single-use acupuncture-style needles to target myofascial trigger points — the tight, irritable knots in muscle that refer pain and limit movement. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which follows meridian theory, dry needling is grounded in modern musculoskeletal anatomy: we needle the specific structures driving your symptoms. When a needle reaches an active trigger point it produces a brief local twitch response that helps the muscle release, restores blood flow and calms the overactive nerve signalling that keeps pain switched on. We rarely use it on its own — dry needling works best as one part of a plan alongside hands-on therapy, movement retraining and a targeted exercise program, so the change holds long after you leave the clinic.
After examining the muscle and confirming your consent, we insert fine, single-use needles into the active trigger point. Reaching the knot produces a brief twitch that helps the muscle release and calms the nerve signalling behind your pain. We then move the muscle to lock in the change and pair it with an exercise plan so it holds.

When you book dry needling with Pegasus Peak Physiotherapy, you get:
Most people feel only a small prick as the needle goes in, then a brief cramp or twitch when it reaches the trigger point — over in a second or two. Any ache afterwards is mild and usually gone within a day. We adjust the intensity to your comfort and check in the whole way through.
No. You can book dry needling directly — no GP referral needed. A referral is only required if you want the session funded through Medicare (a CDM/EPC plan), Workers Compensation, CTP or the NDIS.
Yes. Dry needling is claimable under most 'physiotherapy' extras, and we run HICAPS on the spot so you only pay the gap on the day — no waiting to claim a rebate.
Same style of needle, completely different reasoning. Acupuncture follows traditional Chinese meridian theory; dry needling is based on Western musculoskeletal anatomy — we needle the specific muscles and trigger points driving your pain, guided by a physiotherapy assessment.
Many people feel a noticeable release after one or two sessions. For long-standing tension we'll usually pair a short course of needling with an exercise plan and give you a clear number at your first visit — we don't sell endless appointments.
Very. We use sterile, single-use needles, follow strict hygiene protocols, and are trained in the relevant anatomy to needle safely. We'll always talk through the small, short-lived side effects — a little bruising or soreness — before we start.
