Dry Needling

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a clinically proven physiotherapy technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction by inserting thin, sterile needles into myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that cause pain and restrict movement.

Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles. At Rehab Collective, our skilled therapists use dry needling to stimulate the healing process, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation—getting you back to moving pain-free.

What Our Clients Say

I have been a client of Tony’s for 6 months now. He has always treated my injuries with care and has taken his time to make sure that I have proper recovery. I came to Tony with severe knee pain and after multiple treatments and rehab my knee pain was gone, I went from not being able to stand or walk for more than 30 mins without pain to being able to work 8hours on my feet and weight train with no pain what so ever. I am very grateful that I was able to have someone that is willing to listen to my issues and to apply proper recommendations and treatments. He is very personable and truly cares for his patients!

Defender, Pro Soccer Player
Tony is an amazing physiotherapist. He resonates with the feelings injuries can bring forth and understand that everyone wants to feel better as soon as possible and understand exactly what the problem is.
As a professional soccer player it can be difficult finding a therapist who you fully trust and feel comfortable with working on your body, but Tony possesses all the abilities and traits to perform at the highest level with the best of athletes and high performance individuals.

I was assigned Tony Li as my physiotherapist. Upon my arrival, he was pleasant and polite. He asked me all the questions he needed answers to, to diagnose and provide me a treatment for my issue with my right ankle. He was patient and knowledgeable and showed me stretches that I could do on my own at home. I would recommend Tony's Rehab Collective to any new clients.

There is no better spot for treatment. Tony has helped me with chronic pain and stiffness and transformed my mobility over the last two years. Dr. Boland also unlocked new freedom in how I move my back and hips and my quality of sleep improved tenfold!

I had a wonderful experience at Rehab Collective with Tony. My job requires me to be seated in front of a computer for long periods of time so was experiencing a lot of tension and pain in and around my neck, shoulders and lower back. He was very knowledgeable and put me on a customized physio plan to help with my pain and prevention for the future. I highly recommend Rehab Collective.

I recently visited Rehab Collective for physiotherapy treatment for my knee and back pain, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. My therapist, Tony, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive throughout my sessions. He took the time to listen to my concerns, understand my medical history, and tailor his approach to my specific needs.Tony's expertise in knee pain and back pain was evident from the very first session. He conducted a thorough assessment and identified the root cause of my pain, which allowed him to create a personalized treatment plan for me. He used a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and education to help me manage my symptoms and improve my overall mobility and strength.What I appreciated most about Rehab Collective was the emphasis on patient-centered care. Tony made sure that I was comfortable with every step of the treatment process and always answered any questions I had. He also provided me with helpful resources and tips to use outside of the clinic, which allowed me to continue my progress at home.The clinic itself is modern, clean, and inviting, with a wide range of equipment and amenities to enhance the patient experience. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional, and I always felt like I was in good hands.Overall, I highly recommend Rehab Collective - Physiotherapy&Wellness to anyone dealing with knee pain, back pain, or any other musculoskeletal issues.

FAQs

Most people feel a brief twitch or cramp-like sensation when the needle hits a trigger point, but it usually subsides quickly. Mild soreness may occur for 24–48 hours afterward—similar to post-workout muscle fatigue.

While both use similar needles, acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling is a modern physiotherapy technique based on musculoskeletal science and is used to release trigger points and improve mobility.

Yes. Our therapists are certified and experienced in dry needling. The needles used are sterile, single-use, and handled under strict hygiene protocols.

The number of sessions depends on your condition, response to treatment, and overall goals. Many patients begin to see results after just 1–3 sessions.

Absolutely. We often combine dry needling with manual therapy, mobility exercises, and strength training for a comprehensive and long-lasting recovery.
