Sound PT is pleased to announce that we will soon be offering Dry Needling to our areas of Specialty Care

Dry needling is a skilled technique performed by a physical therapist using a single-use, single-insertion, sterile needle.  Over the past decade it has emerged as an increasingly popular and evidence-based form of physical therapy. Dry needling is most effective when used alongside other treatments, like exercise and manual therapy, to improve function in the body and reduce pain.

Placement of needles in acupuncture is based on meridians.  Dry needle placement by PTs focuses on specific anatomical structures and targets muscles, tendons, nerves and other connective tissues.  This can increase blood flow, stimulate tissue healing and relieve pain.  It fits the model of scientifically-based physical therapy that SPT offers and can accelerate your course of rehab.

PTs in Washington state can now earn a Dry Needling endorsement to add their license.  Three of our PTs are completing the required training and will soon be able to offer this as another area of specialty care.

We are excited to be adding this powerful treatment option to our patients.  Please call if you have questions or are interested in learning more about dry needling.

Sound PT acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the Coast Salish people, including the Duwamish People past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.
