Find Lasting Relief with Dry Needling in Ponte Vedra, FL & Across the First Coast

Your Muscles Deserve Better — Let’s Get to the Root of Pain

If you’re dealing with muscle tightness, nagging aches, or movement restrictions, you don’t have to just live with it. At Movement Driven Performance Physiotherapy, our expert team uses dry needling in Ponte Vedra, FL and throughout the First Coast to help eliminate pain at its source and restore healthy movement.


This proven treatment helps release tension, improve circulation, and jumpstart recovery — so you can get back to the activities and lifestyle you love.

What Is Dry Needling and How Does It Work?

Dry needling is a safe, evidence-based technique performed by licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy. Using thin, sterile needles, we target trigger points—tight or irritated muscle fibers that cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

When these points are released, your body responds by:



  • Reducing muscle tension and spasms
  • Restoring normal movement and flexibility
  • Improving blood flow and oxygenation
  • Decreasing local and referred pain
  • Accelerating recovery and performance


Unlike acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and neuroscience. It’s one of the most effective ways to relieve muscular pain and improve mobility for both active individuals and everyday movers.

Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?

People across Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and the entire First Coast trust Movement Driven for expert dry needling because it’s fast, effective, and backed by science.

This therapy can help with:


  • Back, neck, and shoulder pain
  • Hip, knee, and leg tightness
  • Muscle spasms and trigger points
  • Headaches and TMJ pain
  • Sciatica or nerve-related discomfort
  • Sports injuries and overuse conditions
  • Post-surgical stiffness and scar tissue



Whether you’re a golfer in Ponte Vedra, a weekend athlete, or someone simply looking to move and feel better, dry needling can be the difference-maker in your recovery.
