Ilay Ben David · Certified in Dry Needling

Dry needling

Some muscles stay tight even after a good massage. Dry needling is one of the tools I use to work on such points, when it suits the body and the condition.

What is dry needling

Inserting a fine needle into a trigger point in a muscle to release local tension. It is not acupuncture: dry needling works according to the anatomy of the muscle and its trigger points.

What it feels like

Most people feel a small prick, and sometimes a brief twitch of the muscle. The next day the area may feel slightly tender.

Part of a complete treatment

I do not use dry needling on its own. It is part of a treatment that combines deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and Osteopathic techniques, according to what the body needs that day.

My training

I hold a certificate in dry needling. I studied for four years, in practice and in theory, at Broshim, Arazim, The Academic College of Tel Aviv–Yaffo and Moshe Moreno College, and I am a fourth-year osteopathy student. I founded Infinity Therapy, and I treat at its clinics in Hashmonaim and Givatayim.

Before the treatment

In the health declaration I ask about conditions such as blood clotting disorders, and we decide together whether dry needling is right for you. I do not treat pregnant women.
