Dry Needling Wollongong
At Advance Body Massage, we offer professional Dry Needling in Wollongong as a precise, evidence-based technique designed to relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and support recovery from pain or injury. Dry needling is commonly used alongside remedial, sports, or deep tissue massage to target specific muscles and address persistent issues.
Dry needling is optional and can be tailored to your comfort. We can begin at a gentle, beginner level and progress at a pace that feels right for you.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling involves inserting Ultra fine, sterile needles into tight or overactive muscles, also known as trigger points. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling targets the muscle tissue itself rather than traditional energy pathways. The goal is to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce discomfort in specific areas of the body.
This technique is highly effective for treating:
Muscle knots and tension
Repetitive strain or overuse injuries
Restricted movement or tightness
Chronic pain or postural discomfort
Benefits of Dry Needling
Dry needling can target deeper trigger points that are often difficult to reach with traditional massage techniques. This allows for more precise release of muscle tension and improved mobility in stubborn or hard-to-access areas.

What to Expect
Before starting, we will discuss your medical history, current concerns, and treatment goals. The needles used are very fine and typically cause minimal discomfort — It is normal to feel a brief twitch or pressure as the muscle releases.
After treatment, you may experience mild soreness or tenderness in the treated area, which usually subsides within 24–48 hours. This is a normal part of the process and indicates that the muscle has been effectively targeted.
Is Dry Needling Right for You?
Dry needling is an evidence-based treatment for muscle tension, chronic pain, and restricted movement. When performed by an accredited professional like Moe, it is safe and effective.
It may not be suitable for everyone, such as those with bleeding disorders. Before your session at Advance Body Massage, you’ll complete a brief questionnaire to ensure dry needling is right for you and to discuss the treatment.
