Immediate Long-Lasting Results
Benefits of Dry Needling:
- Immediate Results: After one session of dry needling patients feel a reduction in pain and better mobility
- Faster Progress: Accelerated healing times by eliminating trigger points, increasing blood flow and oxygenation in local tissue
- Tissue Specific: Targets deep anatomical structures that cannot be reached by manual techniques for more specific release work
- Effective and Versatile: Dry Needling can treat back and neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, muscle strains, osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, rotator cuff pain, plantar fasciitis, and MUCH more
- Pain Reduction: Affects both the local and central nervous system responses, pain is immediately reduced after one treatment
- Performance Enhancing: Improve muscular strength and power after one session by activating inhibited muscles.

- Post-Surigical Physical Therapy Patients had 50% less atrophy post surgically following 2-weeks of BFR treatment
- Hypertrophic effects seen after a 6-week traditional strength program were the same after a 6-week low load BFR program
- Increase in activation of the MTORC1 protein synthesis pathway post Blood Flow Restriction Training
- Strength and hypertrophy gains with BFR training at 20-30% 1RM are the same as traditional 80% 1RM training.

Increase your joint mobility! Fight the feelings of tension and tightness with a mobility program.
Muscle tightness is due often to the weakness of certain muscles, or joint mobility restrictions. Our therapists will develop a program with strength, mobility, and stretching to address limited joint mechanics.
Your Physical Therapist will get to the root cause of your mobility and flexibility restrictions.
We have published over 30 Physical Therapy Protocols on how to give the best results
As pioneers in the field we want ALL of our patients and athletes to fully understand the difference our technology will make in accelerating your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Absolutely, moving a joint through its full range of motion will move the synovial fluid which helps to prevent excessive friction on joints moving on each other and provides nutrition/lubrication which decreases sensations of stiffness.
Of course, here at Symmetry Physical Therapy in Downtown Miami, our doctors of physical therapy have extensive knowledge of multiple forms of treatment that will improve your joint mobility.
Every person will have different signs however among the most common are sensations of tightness/stiffness, decreased range of motion, pain, and decreased function.
Many different techniques exist to help such as joint mobilization/manipulation, dry needling, winback, and therapeutic exercises. This assists in rehabilitation for everyone from the general public to rehab for athletes.
Mobility is an active form of moving a joint through its full range of motion in a controlled manner with flexibility being a generally passive state of a joint having an increased range of motion.
We use joint mobilizations when there is stiffness and a lack of range of motion in any given joint. This stiffness may be leading to further issues so we address it as soon as possible.
Joint mobilizations are graded by pressure applied in the restricted direction. Pushing that joint to the restriction helps to create improved mobility and range of motion.
Joint mobilizations (grade I-IV) are graded with gradual pressure increases. A manipulation of the joint is a high-velocity thrust, leading to a release of the joint.
