Dry Needling with Remedial Massage

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a modern therapy that uses fine, sterile needles to release tight bands of muscle (known as trigger points). Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is focused on relieving pain, reducing tension, and restoring normal muscle function.

When combined with remedial massage, it can accelerate recovery, reduce stubborn knots, and make massage work more effectively.

How the Combination Works

• Remedial massage warms up the muscles, improves circulation, and treats the soft tissues.

• Dry needling pinpoints specific trigger points that may not fully release through massage alone.

• Together, they provide both broad muscular relief and targeted deep release for lasting results.

This treatment is especially effective for:

• Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain

• Sports-related tightness or injury recovery

• Headaches caused by muscular tension

• Postural strain from desk work or repetitive movements

Treatment Times & Focus Areas

At Massage Space Bondi Junction, you can choose a treatment length depending on how many areas need attention:​

• 45 minutes – Ideal for 1–2 areas, combining massage and dry needling where needed.

• 60 minutes or longer – Recommended for multiple problem areas or a full-body assessment and treatment.

Your therapist will discuss your goals, explain whether dry needling is suitable, and create a plan tailored to your needs.
