Testimonials
During August of 2010, I had a total right hip replacement. The physical therapy I experienced subsequent to that surgery gradually strengthened the muscles, but during the winter of 2011, I somehow pulled the muscles in my left hamstring muscle that caused excruciating pain. I found Professional Physical Therapy and Training at the Madison YMCA in February and began a regimen that included dry needling.
I participated in a physical therapy program during the spring of 2012 that included the use of the dry needling technique on the thigh muscles of both legs. The application of the needles to my constricted muscles gradually released the tension in the hamstrings and gluteal muscles.
The process was accompanied by an exercise program that gradually increased the range of motion in both thighs. I was able to follow up with a series of stretching and strengthening exercises that included the use of an exercise bicycle. While I am not crazy about being pierced by a needle, I find this process was very helpful with very little discomfort.
Today I walk up and down stairs with ease and take ballroom dancing lessons that enable me to do complicated steps I never even dreamed of doing before I had my surgery.
I would not hesitate to use the dry needling technique again should my muscles tighten up into similar knots again.
