          Dry needling<\/strong> is a therapeutic technique performed by physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to treat pain and muscle dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles (similar to acupuncture needles) directly into muscle knots<\/strong> or trigger points<\/strong> \u2013 areas where muscles are tense or cramped. <\/p>

          Goal of dry needling:<\/strong><\/p>

          • Muscle relaxation<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

          • Pain reduction<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

          • Improved mobility<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

            Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on Western medical science<\/strong>, anatomy, and neurophysiology.<\/p>

            In summary:<\/strong> Dry needling is a modern, scientifically based method for alleviating muscle pain using needles that specifically relax tense muscles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

                Kinesiotaping<\/strong> is a therapeutic method that uses elastic tape (kinesio tape) applied to the skin to support muscles and joints<\/strong> without restricting movement.<\/p>

                Main goals of kinesiotaping:<\/strong><\/p>

                • Pain and inflammation reduction<\/p><\/li>

                • Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage<\/p><\/li>

                • Joint stabilization<\/p><\/li>

                • Muscle relaxation or activation<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

                  The tape is waterproof, elastic<\/strong>, and can be worn for several days.<\/p>

                  In summary:<\/strong> Kinesiotaping is a method of applying special tape to the skin to reduce pain, improve function, and support the recovery of muscles and joints.<\/p>
