Dry Needling Therapy

Dry needling is a unique procedure intended to specifically target and restore muscle function, with an emphasis on improving tissue healing and restoring normal tissue function through inserting acupuncture needles into skin and muscle tissue.

Understanding Dry Needling Therapy

At PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS, our Physiotherapists utilise Dry Needling Therapy (also known as Dry Needling or DNT) as an adjunct to your overall treatment and rehabilitation program. It is the use of acupuncture needles to penetrate muscle to reach a trigger point (tight band of muscle fibres), with the goal of removing the trigger point to restore normal muscle length and tension.

Dry Needling Therapy is useful to promote muscle relaxation via neural deregulation, stimulate tissue healing and blood flow to those deeper areas that hands cannot always get to.

Common conditions/injuries we use dry needling for include:

  • Neck pain or tension headaches
  • Lower back pain
  • Muscular strains
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Hip Bursitis and gluteal pain
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow

Not the best of my reviews, and I took some time prior to choosing to write this.

One star after a very unfortunate incident at the register. The HICAPS process was a difficult one for the operator with some multiple transactions occurring at the one visit. It took a few phone calls to sort out the finances and I had to engage my health fund. All that happened where I found no fault with the physio service – indeed, the physio service put me on the path to recovery.

I was shocked with the need to deal with my health fund out of pride of a long-term membership that has seen my household through many ups and downs. Health fund had to be first where the physio practice was a long second.

Like a lot of men, I always delay attending to my health – and my mild pain was unimportant in the big scheme of things. All in all, it took me a lot to admit that I needed professional help and a week or two of dithering prior to making an appointment. Now, while all my procrastinating is my own drama, it did lead to a state where I would flight if anything went wrong.

After the unfortunate transaction I took to Dr Google. One exercise that Dr Google (actually Dr Youtube) offered on first study turned out to be the best of all the exercises that I had been instructed to use. I can’t think that Dr Youtube alone fixed me as I appreciate that the physio’s instructions were sound as a way of starting on return to health, but Dr Youtube clearly presented as a wealth of information.

The experience taught me to rely on Youtube first and then a visit to a physio second.

Their fees are also very reasonable for this side of town.

Initial consultation today. Turns out the reviews are all true & Steven really is outstanding! We are very blessed to have someone of Steven's calibre, skill & professionalism in Lane Cove. Yes, I'm definitely going back! ????

Steven has been such a great help to me in managing my mobility issues! Having a skilled physiotherapist like him made a significant difference in my progress being diagnosed by back/neck injury and function neurological disorder. It's fantastic that he has been able to guide me step by step and provide the support needed.

Moreover, his polite and kind demeanor is crucial, particularly when dealing with patients who have multiple medical issues. It's essential for healthcare providers to create a compassionate and respectful environment, as it fosters trust and enhances the patient's overall experience.

Thanks Steven Saba!

I highly recommend Steven and the team at ProHealth Lane Cove. Steven is friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. My left knee was causing me some discomfort and Steven quickly worked out the issue at my initial consult. He worked with me to develop a series of exercises that complemented my fitness level and ability while addressing the problem. By the time of my follow-up, my pain was reduced and I continue to be very happy with the results. My knee pain was something I’d been struggling with for some time, so I can’t thank Steven enough!

I can’t recommend Steven enough. Bursitis in my shoulder was excruciating, with limited movement of my arm, having visited many physio’s as well as cortisone injections nothing helped. Within one week, Steven managed to put a plan in place that allowed me to move my arm again with significant reduction in pain, and start regaining strength. The staff are super friendly also, don’t look elsewhere. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you Steven.

I can't recommend Steven from Prohealth Physio more highly. I am 6mo pregnant and was experiencing back pain. I walked in on a Friday with pain and by the following Tuesday the pain was completely gone. I feel very comfortable in the clinic and trust all the women's health advice and exercises I have been prescribed. I am shocked at how great I feel and how quickly I was able to gain strength and heal.

Connor is an excellent exercise physiologist. He helped me through my rehabilitation from a serious shoulder open heart surgery and helped me gain confidence to use my shoulder again. He was also extremely compassionate and supported me mentally through this difficult time in my life. There was some negative and habitual behaviours from the unfortunate journey that Connor was able to assist me unconditionally, beyond his duty of care. I would recommend him highly.
I am grateful N thankful.
God bless you Conner

My physiotherapist was Valeria, she was highly professional and very skilled. She helped me to relief terrible pain in both arms caused by repetitive movements and constantly lifting my baby. She also showed me some exercises that have been helping me so I don't injure myself again. She was friendly and respectful. Her treatment was very comprehensive, I cannot do anything but recommend her.

I recently had my second set of sessions at ProHealth - different issues, with different physiotherapists (first time for shoulder, this time for mid-back). Once again I was very happy with the treatment received.

Steven was very easy going and took time to listen to everything I explained - type and level of pain, location, potential causes, what helped/exacerbated it etc - and treated everything methodically while adapting to things he noticed or things that changed during treatment. He also gave clear and simple instructions for the mobility and strength exercises, and after two sessions gave me enough info to self-manage my recovery (which has worked brilliantly).

Can't fault the clinic, resources and rest of the staff either - a great setup with friendly and helpful people.

Steven was able to diagnose my issue immediately. I thought it was a shoulder strain but it turned out to be a neck issue. He immediately addressed the issue and set me some homework. I'm back to 100% physical condition in just over 4 weeks and I'm out doing my fitness sessions, which I love - thanks buddy - highly recommend these guys and will be telling all my fitness friends about Steven and the group.
