Dry needling
Is a tool used to reduce abnormal muscle contracture, de-activate myofascial trigger points, increase blood supply, along with nutrients and to help with decreasing pain receptors and signalling.
Using a very fine needle, the needle is inserted into the muscle. Areas of where is determined by tactile approach. We can feel where the swollen muscle fibres are, apply pressure at that location, see its response and determine if needling is the right option for it.
Dry needling is a great tool to urgently assist in the relief of myofascial pain and the treatment of myofascial pain syndromes.
Dry needling that clinical myotherapists do:
Deep Dry needling
Involves inserting the needling into the muscle, in order to deactivate and settle down the contracted muscle fibres that are causing pain, dysfunction and inflammation.
As we are deactivating we are bringing normality back into the electrical function of the neuromuscular junction, eliminating abnormal muscle fibre contracture & pain that’s associated with pain, ANS and PNS.
Superficial dry needling
Involves the superficial insertion of the fine needle into the skin directly overlying the myofascial issue/trigger point/restrictive tissue.
This is to bring about a more blood flow creating response and to help separate the tissues directly above the issue or in the area being affected.
Electroneedling
With electro needling, the needles are inserted into the area needed to have relief and an electrical current is applied to the needles.
With direct pathway into the muscle- the analgesic effect occurs & to treat abnormal muscle contraction. By doing so, it modifies impulses in the sensory pathways in order to alter pain patterns. It produces a release of endorphins which is to provide pain relief through the muscle. Ongoing changes are that it interrupts or breaks the learnt pain pathways that the body develops.

Why Customers Love Mel & Co.
I have been a client of Mel for over 5 years. She is one of a kind in the world of Myotherapy and I can highly recommend. I’m sure Mel has the ability to perform miracles, as recently I hurt my back two weeks before my Wedding. After 2 visits Mel have me back on my feet and dancing again. Very luck to have been introduced to Mel.
I had constant hip, front of groin pain and pelvic pain for over 1 year & i had physio for that 1 year with no relief. I had to stop boxing & running. With Mel, she worked through everything that other therapists wouldn’t and didn’t think to treat. After just 9 sessions 1 x weekly & the pain everywhere has been very minimal, it’s feeling so much better and its going great!
Best nights sleep in ages & feeling fabulous all that’s to you – my thoracic pain and tingling in my hands went away so quickly & I’m getting decent sleep! Thanks Magic Mel
With the right assessment – the treatment is spot on. my lower back is so much better and during plus after my initial with Mel, i knew she knew what was going on and what she discussed with me was spot on. My treatments with Mel have given me such a huge pain relief and I’ve seen so many therapists to help me sort out this issue. so relieved!
I really enjoyed my session with Josie! she is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and understands whats going on. Great strength as well. my neck pain is feeling 80% better & I’m looking forward to my next session with her. Thank you!
