Stubborn muscle pain, tightness, and trigger points don't have to be permanent. Human Efficiency PT uses dry needling to target the root of your pain and get you moving freely again.

When stretching, rest, and traditional treatment aren't enough, unresolved muscle tension can hold back your recovery and performance.

– Persistent trigger points can cause referred pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
– Unresolved muscle tension often slows recovery from injury and reduces performance.
– Without treating the source of tightness, the same pain tends to keep coming back.
At Human Efficiency PT, dry needling is integrated into a personalized treatment plan—not offered as a standalone quick fix.
We precisely locate and treat the muscle knots and trigger points driving your pain, tightness, and restricted movement.
Dry needling works best alongside manual therapy and movement rehab—our 1-on-1 sessions integrate all three for lasting results.
Whether you're managing chronic pain or pushing athletic performance, dry needling helps your muscles recover and respond more effectively.

"I can’t recommend Dr. Alex highly enough. When I first reached out to him, I was dealing with a lower back running injury and could barely walk without limping. I felt pretty hopeless and didn’t know if I’d be able to get back to running at all. From the very beginning, he showed genuine care and took the time to actively listen to my concerns, my lifestyle, and my training goals. He adjusted treatment based on how I was feeling and progressing, and built a plan that was realistic for me. He even scheduled sessions at convenient times (often early mornings), which made it much easier to stay consistent. Our sessions evolved as I progressed, starting with a thorough assessment, then focusing on recovery treatments like dry needling with electrical stimulation to manage pain, and eventually transitioning into performance and strength work. I still use the strength exercise program he designed for me, and I have continued to see results in my not only my back strength, but my strength and running form overall. Within just a couple of months, I went from struggling to walk to successfully running a half marathon. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Alex encouraged me, kept me motivated, and helped me become a better runner than I was prior to the injury. I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Alex's guidance and expertise. If you’re dealing with an injury or simply looking to become a stronger person, I would absolutely recommend him!"
"Alex is an incredible PT who was able to help me go from barely walking after my 24 hr ultra, to completing a marathon in a couple of months! Now we are working to continue building strength as I focus on hitting a half marathon PR in the spring! He is very respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. He put together a plan and made sure I understood exactly what I was supposed to do and how it related to the pain I was struggling with. I highly recommend him to any runner that is currently injured or wants to learn ways to prevent future injuries!"
"After struggling with chronic back pain for many years, I final found hope with Dr. Alex. Dr. Alex took the time to listen carefully, assess my condition thoroughly, and explain the treatment plan in a way that made me feel informed and empowered. Dr. Alex’s expertise, along with his compassionate and encouraging approach made all the difference. If you’re dealing with back pain and want a physical therapist who truly understands how to help, I can’t recommend Dr. Alex highly enough."
