Deeper Healing
Relieve Tension at the Source
Dry needling works by targeting tight or overactive muscles that contribute to pain and restricted movement. By releasing these trigger points, the body can reset, reduce irritation, and improve overall function.
Your care is always personalized and often combined with movement-based therapy to support long-term results. Our goal is to help you recover fully, prevent recurrence, and maintain better movement over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?
Physical therapy sessions typically involve an assessment of your condition, manual techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercises and activities to help you reach your goals, education on how to prevent further injury or pain, and instruction on proper posture, body mechanics and other lifestyle changes.
Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physical Therapy?
Iowa is a “direct access state.” This means you are allowed to come directly to our practice for evaluation and treatment without a physician’s referral!
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physical therapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.
