Dry Needling is an essential part of physical therapy
 

Hello,

I regularly see physical therapists for sports related injuries, and believe dry needling is an integral part of physical therapy.  Combined with heat, therapeutic massage, myofascial work, and Graston therapy, it helps to relax tightened muscles and restore mobility.  In my opinion it is essential to physical therapy work.
