About Dry Needling

Dry needling is available only as part of a physical therapy plan of care and is not offered as a stand-alone service.

pelvic health symptoms

Dry needling may be helpful for individuals experiencing:

  • Pelvic pain or deep muscle tension
  • Pain with intercourse
  • Hip, low back, or glute pain related to pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Postpartum or post-surgical muscle guarding
  • Athletic or exercise-related pain that limits return to activity

How dry needling is used at Peak Pelvic Health

Dry needling is used to help calm overactive muscles, improve tissue mobility, and reduce pain so that meaningful movement and strengthening can follow. When appropriate, it may be combined with:

pelvic bladder training retraining physical therapy
  • Pelvic floor muscle retraining
  • Breathing and pressure management strategies
  • Targeted strengthening and mobility work
  • Return-to-exercise or sport-specific training
The goal is not short-term symptom relief alone, but improved coordination, confidence, and long-term function.

What to Expect

Dry needling is performed by a licensed physical therapist with advanced training. Treatment is always individualized and discussed in advance, including potential benefits and expected sensations. Not every patient needs dry needling, and it is only used when it supports overall recovery goals.
