This approach involves the insertion of fine needles into specific trigger points in the muscles, helping to release tension and reduce muscle tightness. By targeting these trigger points, our physiotherapists can decrease pain, restore normal movement patterns, and speed up the recovery process.

The experts at PHYSIOZH follow the standards of the Swiss Dry Needling Association (DNVS - Dry Needling Verband Schweiz).

Some of the conditions that the dry needling technique can help with include:

• Quadriceps atrophy after ACL surgery
• Rotator cuff muscle activation post-surgery
