Improves range of motion
Enhances athletic recovery and performance
Commonly used by athletes, ART® is one of the most trusted therapies for resolving chronic tightness and improving function.

Benefits of Rehab & Strength Training:

Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to release muscle trigger points, improve circulation, and decrease pain.
Benefits of Dry Needling:

Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)

Improves mobility and flexibility
Speeds up recovery from injuries
FDM is especially effective for stubborn aches, sports injuries, and movement limitations that don’t respond to traditional care.
