Purposeful Care For a Lasting Relief
At LiveWell Health, we use dry needling to calm overactive trigger points. Each of our sessions is delivered with purpose, skill, and complete clinical oversight.
Our team ensures every needle placement stems from a detailed assessment of your pain, posture, and muscle behaviour, rather than indulging in a rushed or random dry needling session.
We ensure to diagnose and treat the root cause of your symptoms and not merely focus on the flare-up. Before beginning, we conduct precise hands-on testing. During which we observe how your muscles respond to pressure and movement. This ensures that treatment addresses the exact cause of your pain. Whether you're facing persistent shoulder fatigue or an old quad strain, our experts take adequate dry needling measures to provide relief by releasing constricted muscle fibres.

Tailored Dry Needling Physiotherapy For Sustainable Recovery
At our Melbourne clinic, we merge dry needling with movement re-education. By doing so, we design each of our sessions to be a step towards your broader recovery.
Throughout the process, our physios and myotherapists monitor your body’s response. This also increases the likelihood of long-term relief and reduces the chance of recurrence. Here’s what makes our dry needling physio sessions effective:
Informed muscle targeting
We assess which muscles are dominating or underperforming in your movement chain, rather than simply identifying the painful ones. This guides treatment toward restoring balanced, functional movement.
Responsive in-session care
We check for local twitch responses and tissue tone shifts as we work. This helps guide how long to treat each point and whether follow-up techniques are required.
Melbourne-specific experience
From desk-based stiffness to tradie-related strain, our team knows the local demands placed on your body. Our care reflects what your daily routine requires.

Hands-On Treatment With Complete Clinical Context
Spotting sore spots is just one part of what we do. What matters more is understanding why those areas became sore in the first place. That’s where our focus lies, getting to the root cause, not just the loudest symptom.
At your first session, we slow things down and take a proper look. We watch how you move, stand, and hold tension, especially under pressure. It’s not about chasing pain. We’re looking for patterns: the muscles doing too much, the ones switching off, and the subtle shifts that build up over time. That’s what gives us a clearer picture of what’s really driving your discomfort.
After which we:
- Apply dry needling with accuracy, using sterile needles to target the exact fibres
- Monitor your muscle responses, like twitches or referred sensations
- Adjust treatment in real time based on changes in tissue tone
- Provide recovery strategies
- Guide you through short-term aftercare and integrate active therapy

Frequently Asked Questions
01Is it always a physiotherapist who carries out dry needling at your clinic?
It is always a qualified professional, whether physiotherapist or myotherapist, who carries out the session. We understand the intricacy of the process, and thus, only an expert can conduct it.
02Do you pair dry needling with other physiotherapy techniques?
Yes, we regularly combine dry needling with other physiotherapy techniques. It's often used alongside manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, or mobility training to enhance treatment outcomes and support long-term recovery.
03What kind of needles do you use?
We use only ultra-fine, single-use needles that are sterile and safe. You might barely feel them going in since they’re that precise. Each one is chosen with care to gently reach the muscle tissue without leaving marks or causing irritation. Comfort matters to us just as much as results, and these needles help us do both well.
04Can dry needling help with injury rehab?
Absolutely, and we see it every day. If you’ve been dealing with tight muscles that just won’t let go, dry needling might be the reset your body needs. It’s especially useful during rehab for tendon or muscle injuries, where tension slows progress. By releasing those deep knots, dry needling can help you move more freely, avoid compensation patterns, and get back on track with your recovery, without pushing through unnecessary pain.
05Is dry needling useful for chronic conditions?
Yes, it can be highly effective. Many of our clients come to us with long-standing issues, whether that’s postural stress from desk work, recurring tightness from sport, or muscle fatigue driven by stress. Dry needling helps to soften these holding patterns, improve flexibility, and support better function over time.
