Dry Needling in Zurich
– Targeted Trigger Point Therapy for Muscle Relaxation
Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique where fine needles are inserted into tense muscle areas called myofascial trigger points. The goal is to improve local blood flow, reduce muscle tone, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility.
