Ever felt that twitch during dry needling? 😮💥
It’s actually a GOOD sign!
It’s called the Local Twitch Response (LTR) a fast, involuntary contraction when the needle targets a myofascial trigger point (those stubborn knots).
This reflex:
✅ Breaks the cycle of muscle tightness
✅ Releases inflammatory chemicals
✅ Boosts circulation & oxygen to the area
✅ Helps the muscle ‘reset’ for better length & function
Many people feel looser and move better right away.
Normal? Yes.
Soreness after? Totally normal, like post-workout DOMS.
Worth it? Absolutely.
