Dry Needling | For The Calves & Hamstrings

This queasy-to-look-at treatment is tried and tested to alleviate pain but has also been linked with improving soft tissue mobility. While there are numerous studies that corroborate the super benefits of dry needling, there’s one that particularly looks into the effect of dry needling on hamstring flexibility and knee pain. The results showed significant improvement in the hamstring flexibility for the majority of participants.
