Dry Needling in Melbourne’s West

Target pain. Release tension. Support recovery.

Dry needling is a safe, evidence-based technique that helps release tight muscles and reduce pain.

Glenn has helped me so much, I regularly see him for treatment and look forward to my appointments so much I don’t think I could function otherwise. He has extensive knowledge in all things remedial and a whole lot more too. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
