Dry Needling in Geelong: How This Myotherapy Technique Can Relieve Muscle Pain
If you’ve been searching for dry needling in Geelong to help relieve pain, tightness or stubborn muscle knots, you’re in the right place.
At The Manx Myo, our experienced Geelong myotherapist offers dry needling as part of a tailored treatment plan to help you move better, feel better and live pain-free.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a modern treatment technique used by myotherapists to target myofascial trigger points (also known as “muscle knots”). It involves inserting a fine, sterile needle into tight or overactive muscle tissue to reduce tension, restore movement and relieve pain.
Although it uses similar tools, dry needling is not the same as acupuncture. It’s based on western medicine principles and focuses on the muscles, fascia, and nervous system — making it a popular treatment for people dealing with musculoskeletal pain.
How Dry Needling Works
When the needle is inserted into a trigger point, it often causes a quick muscle twitch. This “twitch response” helps release the knot, increase blood flow, and promote healing.
Many clients at our Myotherapy Geelong clinic report a noticeable reduction in pain and stiffness immediately after a session — particularly when combined with myotherapy.
Benefits of Dry Needling for Geelong Locals
Dry needling is effective for a wide range of physical complaints, especially those related to posture, repetitive movement or injury. Some of the most common conditions we treat at our Geelong myotherapy clinic include:
Neck and shoulder tension (including “tech neck”)
Lower back pain
Glute pain and sciatica
Headaches and migraines from muscle tightness
Jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction
Muscle strains and sports injuries
Tendon-related conditions like tennis elbow or Achilles tendinopathy
Whether you’re an athlete, tradie, office worker or busy parent — if you’re dealing with pain or muscle tightness in Geelong, dry needling could help.

What to Expect at Your Dry Needling Appointment
When you visit The Manx Myo in Geelong, we’ll start with a full assessment of your posture, movement and symptoms. If dry needling is appropriate, we’ll explain the process and make sure you’re comfortable throughout the treatment.
Some people feel a mild twitch or ache during needling, while others feel only a light pressure. Post-treatment, you might feel like you've done a big workout — that’s your muscles starting to release and reset.

Yes — dry needling is safe when performed by a qualified and trained professional. At The Manx Myo, we use single-use, sterile needles and follow strict safety protocols. Our Geelong myotherapist has completed specialised training in dry needling and applies a clinical, evidence-based approach.
