Dry Needling in Altona Meadows

Target pain. Release tension. Support recovery.

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

Glenn Kinder Massage Therapy is located in Altona Meadows, providing remedial and sports massage to clients in Altona, Point Cook, Laverton, Seabrook and surrounding areas.

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.

Dry needling can often provide relief where other techniques haven’t quite shifted the pain.

Using fine, sterile needles, Glenn Kinder targets trigger points to restore mobility and support the body’s natural healing.
