Dry Needling (Integrated with Pelvic Health Physical Therapy)
Dry needling is a skilled physical therapy technique used to address muscle tension, pain, and movement restrictions that can contribute to pelvic floor symptoms. At Peak Pelvic Health, dry needling is never a stand-alone service—it is used selectively as part of a comprehensive pelvic health treatment plan.
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.
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 floor muscle retraining
- Breathing and pressure management strategies
- Targeted strengthening and mobility work
- Return-to-exercise or sport-specific training
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.
