Dry Needling / Medical Acupuncture
Dry needling and Medical Acupuncture use fine and flexible sterile needles for intramuscular stimulation and stimulate healing in the fascial tissue, nerves and joints. A dry needling physiso inserts them through the skin into the underlying tissues and muscles at specific points known as myofascial trigger points. When the twitch response is obtained the muscle is released.
A useful conjunctive method of treatment to help relieve muscle spasm/tension, decrease pain and promote normal nerve function and joint mobility.

Expertise in pelvic health: pelvic floor physiotherapy in Kelowna

What does a Pelvic Floor Assessment and Treatment involve?
Pelvic floor dysfunction is diagnosed by a pelvic floor physiotherapist near me using internal and external “hands-on” or manual techniques to evaluate the function of the pelvic floor muscles’ ability to contract and relax. The therapist will also assess your lower back, hips and sacroiliac joints to determine if any other structures are contributing to your pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic health physiotherapy treatment depends on your particular condition but can include techniques to relax hypertonic muscles, strengthening exercises if there is weakness, manual therapy, biofeedback, and general physiotherapy management if other issues are contributing to your pelvic floor dysfunction. You will also ALWAYS learn self management techniques and education on how to manage, improve and eliminate your issues.
It is important to realize that pelvic floor pain and dysfunction is not normal, and it can be addressed!
