Dry needling & Medical Acupuncture

Dry needling and medical acupuncture used alongside rehabilitation and hands-on therapy to support recovery and movement.

What is Dry Needling & Medical Acupuncture?

Dry needling and medical acupuncture are techniques used to help reduce muscular tension, improve movement, and support pain management as part of a broader rehabilitation approach.

Fine needles are used to target areas of muscular tightness, trigger points, and movement restriction that may be contributing to symptoms.

Treatment is tailored to the individual and is often combined with hands-on therapy, rehabilitation and movement guidance, depending on the nature of the condition.

Dry needling used within the clinic is based on modern musculoskeletal assessment and Western medical understanding of pain, movement, and soft tissue function.

What Patients Say

A Personal Approach To Care

A message from Arjun Mehra - Osteopath & Physiotherapist

“Over more than a decade in clinical practice, I’ve learned that pain and injury rarely exist in isolation. How your body moves, how you train, work, rest, and manage stress can all influence how symptoms develop and how they recover.

Rather than focusing on one area alone, I look at how different parts of the body interact alongside lifestyle and movement factors that may be contributing to symptoms. This allows treatment and rehabilitation to feel more tailored, relevant, and sustainable.

My approach has been shaped through experience across private practice, NHS settings, specialist clinics, and community work - where listening properly often matters just as much as hands-on treatment.

Every session is tailored to the individual. The goal isn’t simply to reduce pain, but to help you better understand your body, rebuild confidence in movement, and feel supported throughout recovery.

If I feel another clinician, specialist, or service would be better placed to support your needs, I’ll always be honest about that and help guide you in the right direction. Good care isn’t about keeping people coming back unnecessarily, it’s about helping people access the support that’s most appropriate for them.

This is a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space. Everyone arrives at a different point in their journey, and my role is to meet you where you are - with care, respect, and compassion.”

- Arjun Mehra - Osteopath & Physiotherapist
