MYOFASCIAL DRY NEEDLING
The key thing Iāve noticedāsomething many practitioners never mention, and perhaps arenāt even aware ofāis how quickly this tool can invite someone back into their body, and even more importantly, back into present time.
Iāve witnessed many clients arrive in clinic consumed by lifeās stressors: juggling family demands, financial pressures, relationship challenges, feeling overworked, and often in quiet resistance to slowing down.
And while their intention is always to reduce tension, massage can sometimes heighten sensitivity and trigger an overāprotective nervous system.
Yet after a single needle insertion, Iāve watched clients slow their breath, soften into the table, and settle into a still, introspective state.
While assessment and nervous system sensitivity always dictate the dose, itās important to know that no tool used in clinical practice is more senior than your own capacity to settle your thoughts, shift your emotional state, and take aligned action ā but itās reassuring to know that dry needling, when appropriate, may support that process.
