- Intramuscular Manual Therapy (IMT), which is generally referred to as dry needling, is defined as a technique to treat myofascial pain using a dry needle (without medication) that is inserted into a trigger point with the goal of releasing / inactivating the trigger points and relieving pain.
This incredibly effective and popular treatment can help resolve pain and muscle tension in runners and endurance athletes. Dry needling can also promote healing and speed up recovery from running injuries. Think of the needle as an extension of the therapist’s hands into muscles that can’t be reached. In runners and endurance athletes, dry needling can be an incredibly effective technique to facilitate healing from running injuries. Often times it will eliminate symptoms in tight muscles altogether.
Dry needling is most effective when combined with a comprehensive physical therapy program that identifies and targets the root of the problem.
