Dry needling vs Acupuncture
The technique involved with dry needling is inserting an acupuncture needle into a trigger point in the muscle.
A Myofascial trigger point is ‘a hyper-irritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band’ (Dommerbolt 2006). In easier terms, an area in a muscle that is overactive and sore to touch.
Acupuncture needles are incredibly thin needles and are inserted deep into the muscle which can cause a local twitch response. This is the muscle contracting and relaxing and can sometimes cause a dull ache. You may also feel the area of pain referral.
The muscle can continue to release and it’s not uncommon to feel tired over the next day or so, after the needle has been removed.
This is in comparison to the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture which is based on inserting needles into specific points of the body to allow the free flow of energy, known as ‘Qi’, through the body, allowing balance between Yin and yang.

What is the distinction between Sports Massage and Remedial Massage ?

In brief..
Many clients ask for sports massage because they have in their mind that "sports" = "deep tissue". With the thinking; "Athletes must get it deep, so I want that too!"
Sports massage is what occurs close to the event, either pre or post event, with the intention not being to alter structure all that much, or perhaps the intention is better thought of as influencing function more than structure. In fact, deep tissue can be considered contraindicated in some circumstances. Whereas with Remedial, the intention is to definitely "alter" structure, which can obviously influence function over the coming days/weeks.

More info to come…

Below: a post run massage set up I worked at a while back for runners at a long distance run event. This particular client was just seeking some relief for their tight calves as they finished the run.
