Can I get a massage after dry needling?

It is usually best to avoid deep tissue massage or intense bodywork straight after dry needling, especially if the treated area feels sore or sensitive. Your muscles may need time to settle after the session.

Gentle massage may be suitable in some cases, but this depends on your body’s response and the area treated. Ask your practitioner for aftercare advice before booking massage therapy after dry needling.
