Dry needling in Ballymena
Dry needling is one of the techniques Sapphire may use within an appropriate treatment session. The choice starts with your needs, suitability and consent.
Schoolhouse Gym, Ahoghill · Free on-site parking · By appointment
Is this the right starting point?
- Discussing a specific area of muscular tightness
- Exploring treatment options within an assessment-led session
- Asking about alternatives if you prefer hands-on treatment
Which appointment should I choose?
Dry needling is listed as an option within treatment where appropriate, rather than a separate booking category. Choose Injury Assessment & Treatment for pain or unresolved injury, or the relevant sports massage slot for routine muscular maintenance. Message Sapphire if you are unsure.
What to expect
01
Discuss suitability
Share relevant health information, medicines and concerns before treatment. Sapphire will discuss whether the technique is appropriate for the session.
02
Understand your options
Ask what the treatment involves, how it may feel and what alternatives are available. Treatment is your choice.
03
Review the response
Discuss how you feel afterwards and the next step in your plan. Results vary; no single technique is right for everyone.

No. Let Sapphire know your preferences. Suitability and consent are discussed before treatment, and you can ask about other approaches.

The current booking listing includes dry needling where appropriate within treatment or sports massage sessions. Message Sapphire before booking if dry needling is your main reason for visiting.
