The primary differences between dry needling and acupuncture lie in the techniques and theories regarding needle placement.
Dry needling focuses on strong stimulation of trigger points to alleviate muscle tension. In contrast, Western anatomical acupuncture is based on channel theory and employs gentle stimulation of trigger points to promote natural healing. Our allied health professionals use dry needling to relieve pain and tension from muscle knots and pressure points, whereas acupuncture practitioners insert needles to release endorphins and influence the central nervous system. Additionally, acupuncture needles are typically left in place for 15–30 minutes, while dry needling needles are usually removed within 15 minutes.
Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-surgical treatment for painful disorders. This multidisciplinary device offers rapid pain relief and mobility restoration, making it an ideal treatment to expedite recovery and address various conditions causing acute or chronic pain, such as jumper’s knee, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and trigger points.
There are currently no Public Health Directions mandating the use of face masks. However, masks are still recommended if you are diagnosed with COVID-19 or exhibit symptoms of an acute respiratory infection.
Our team of highly trained podiatrists can prescribe custom-made orthotics and shoe inserts to assist with various conditions, including hip pain, Achilles tendinopathy, biomechanical faults, and to enhance foot function.
We recommend wearing pool-appropriate clothing, such as swimwear or gym wear. Avoid heavy fabrics like cotton t-shirts, which absorb water and become heavy. Lightweight polyesters are preferable as they absorb less water. Boardshorts and rash shirts are suitable and readily available.
In addition to appropriate clothing, please bring a water bottle, a towel, and rubber thongs.
Both hydrotherapy pools at Rathdowne Place and Racecourse Grange are heated to a comfortable 34 degrees Celsius year-round.
This temperature is considered “thermo-neutral,” meaning most individuals maintain their core temperature when immersed in 34-degree water. This is ideal for low-intensity exercise and short periods of higher-intensity activity.
