Where does dry needling come from? ๐Ÿง

Dry needling has been around since the 1940s but only really became popular in the early 2000s. In the 1940s, Dr Janet Travell introduced the term โ€œdry needlingโ€- using a hypodermic needle without injecting any substances.

In 1979, Dr Karel Lewit reported pain relief by stimulating trigger points โšก๏ธ with both hypodermic and acupuncture needles and then in 1989, both Dr Chan Gunn and Dr Peter Baldry abandoned the hypodermic needle and adopted the acupuncture needle that we know today!

๐Ÿ’ก Dry Needling vs Acupuncture ๐Ÿ’ก

โญ•๏ธ The technique involved with dry needling is inserting an acupuncture needle into the trigger point in the muscle.

โญ•๏ธ These needles are incredibly thin with a diameter of about 0.3 of a millimetre. The needle is inserted deep into the muscle ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ which causes a local twitch response. This is the muscle quickly contracting and relaxing. This can cause the muscle to ache and you may also feel the area of pain referral.

โญ•๏ธ Commonly you may feel a slight increase in muscle pain for the next 24-36 hours as the muscle continues to release.

โญ•๏ธ This is in comparison to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture which is based on inserting the needles into specific points in the body to allow the free flow of energy (known as โ€œQiโ€) through the body. This free flow of Qi allows the balance between Yin and Yang โ˜ฏ๏ธ.

Muscles, knots and needles - what is dry needling and how does it work?! ๐Ÿง

Dry needling is a technique used widely around the world ๐ŸŒ to treat muscle aches and pain ๐Ÿค•.

You may have heard of this technique before but been unsure of whether or not itโ€™s right for you.

How does it work ๐Ÿค”? Will it hurt? Is that the same as acupuncture?

A very important factor in understanding the process of dry needling is to know a little bit about the muscles ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ and what is causing the pain ๐Ÿงจ.

Myofascial trigger points are defined as ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ โ€œa hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut bandโ€ (Dommerholt 2006).

What this means is that a trigger point is an area in a muscle that is overactive and very sore to touch. You can feel the spot as a small lump โ€“ commonly referred to as a muscle โ€˜knotโ€™.

What is craniosacral therapy? ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿผ technique that works with the soft tissue structures of the body and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid between the head and the base of the spine. These structures and fluids protect, support, and nourish the brain ๐Ÿง  and spinal cord.

CST uses a light touch ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿผ to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being ๐ŸŒฑ by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.

โญ•๏ธ Do you know about fascia and the body?! โญ•๏ธ

A new appreciation of fascia has begun throughout the health and well-being industries ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿผ as a way of explaining and treating injuries ๐Ÿค•, but fascia is something we Bowen therapists have been working with and on for years.

You could say weโ€™re fascinated with fascia!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Injuries and a wide range of health problems may be treated by working on the fascia, including babies with colic, adults with work related injuries, continual compromised posture, seniors with any of the problems that are common with old age and athletes with acute or chronic injuries.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ In case you havenโ€™t already heard of fascia itโ€™s a connective tissue made mainly from tightly woven collagen fibres which surround every other tissue of the body including our nerves, bones, arteries, veins and muscles.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ Every single part of your anatomy is encased in and connected by fascia. It wraps around your individual internal parts keeping them apart and lubricating them for easy movements.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Fascia keeps your body taut, itโ€™s your bodyโ€™s first line defense against injury and itโ€™s the first place health problems or injuries should be treated.

โšก๏ธ Bowen Therapy and Back Pain โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ’กBowen is an extremely powerful and supportive technique ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿผ to deal with the many different forms of back pain โšก๏ธ that arise from various conditions, imbalances, stresses and strains within the body that so often are the root cause of back pain.

๐Ÿ’ก One of the hugely beneficial advantages of Bowen Therapy is that it addresses the body as a whole ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธand not just specific issues. This can lead to remarkable results, often resolving other issues at the same time as your sore back!

๐Ÿ’ก Bowen Therapy is a gentle, no force approach that triggers the body's own innate healing abilities ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝand can leave long lasting results ๐Ÿ™.

๐Ÿ–๐Ÿผ Bowen Therapy + Digestive Issues ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

๐Ÿ’ก Bowen Therapy has treated a number of people suffering from digestive problems; some of the common digestive problems include bloating, constipation, diarrhoea and heartburn ๐Ÿ˜–.

๐Ÿ’ก Digestive problems are often related to lifestyle, the food consumed or stress. Bowen Therapy can help tackle the symptoms and help with the management of digestive issues โšก๏ธ.

๐Ÿ’ก Bowen Therapy is a holistic treatment which is non invasive and uses gentle rolling movements over specific points of the body.

๐Ÿ’ก The treatment is performed using thumbs and fingers applying gentle pressure which together works on a deep, dynamic and often profound level.

๐Ÿ’ก This gentle pressure can help to relieve digestive issues by slowly relaxing the body and relieving stress and tension built up in the body.

๐ŸŒธ Bowen + Birth ๐ŸŒธ

Bowen can begin at any time during pregnancy ๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿป. It is safe and non-invasive. Bowen has particular uses for relieving back pain โšก๏ธ, sciatica and re-aligning the pelvis.

Bowen is particularly useful for re-aligning the pelvis, and I recommend it around 33-34 weeks of pregnancy before the babyโ€™s head is engaged ๐ŸŒผ.

This correction of any pelvic tilt encourages and helps the babyโ€™s head to engage within the pelvis and rotate easily within the birthing canal to an occipito-anterior position, which is the optimum position for vaginal birth โฃ๏ธ.

If the baby is overdue, certain gentle Bowen moves on the coccyx can be done to encourage labor ๐Ÿ”†.
