Dry Needling
Dry needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique that may be incorporated into suitable rehabilitation programmes to address selected muscular and movement-related concerns. At SR Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre in Hyderabad, Dr. Rajesh Patel uses dry needling as part of a personalised physiotherapy approach, based on the individual’s condition, functional needs and rehabilitation goals.
Dry needling is different from acupuncture and is generally used as part of a broader physiotherapy programme rather than as a standalone rehabilitation approach. It may be considered alongside exercises, mobility work and other physiotherapy techniques where appropriate.
Personalised Physiotherapy Approach
Dr. Rajesh Patel, BPT, is a certified physiotherapist with 7 years of professional experience and a fellowship in orthopaedic rehabilitation. His areas of focus include orthopaedic physiotherapy, sports injury rehabilitation, ACL and PCL rehabilitation, gym injuries and neurological rehabilitation.
Dry needling may be incorporated into rehabilitation plans depending on the patient’s individual requirements.
The broader physiotherapy programme may focus on:
- Improving mobility and flexibility
- Supporting functional movement
- Addressing selected muscular concerns
- Improving physical function
- Supporting rehabilitation after injuries
- Progressively restoring strength and movement
Dry Needling for Rehabilitation

Other components may include:
- Therapeutic exercises
- Mobility exercises
- Strengthening activities
