Where Expertise Meets Compassion
Target the Source of Your Pain
Muscle tightness and trigger points can develop from injury, repetitive movements, overuse, or poor posture, often leading to pain that limits your ability to work, exercise, and enjoy everyday activities. These dysfunctional muscles can also affect surrounding joints and tissues, creating movement restrictions and compensation patterns that prolong discomfort.
At Abilene Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab, dry needling is used to target these trigger points and restore normal muscle function. By releasing tight muscle bands, improving circulation, and reducing muscle tension, this evidence-based treatment helps decrease pain while improving flexibility and movement. Every treatment is carefully tailored to your condition and integrated into a comprehensive rehabilitation program designed to promote lasting recovery.

Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic muscle pain, or working to improve your physical performance, our goal is to help you move more efficiently, recover more quickly, and return to the activities you enjoy with greater confidence and less pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during my physical therapy treatments?
Your first visit will include the initial evaluation and then a treatment. You will be instructed on therapeutic exercises, learn how to manage and care for your symptoms, receive manual therapy if necessary, and may be treated with some type of therapeutic modalities. (As well as given a specific home program, ice, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, traction, etc.)
Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physical Therapy?
Kansas allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can see a licensed physical therapist (PT) for evaluation and treatment without a doctor’s referral. Patients can typically receive treatment for up to 10 visits or 15 business days from the initial evaluation before a referral is required. This approach allows for faster care, reduced costs, and improved efficiency.
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physical therapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.
How long will my physical therapy sessions last?
Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on your condition and the types of techniques used. Your physical therapist will give you an estimate when you first arrive for your appointment.
Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?
Yes! Your physical therapist may provide specific exercise recommendations for you to try in between visits, which will help speed up your recovery and progress faster toward reaching your goals. It’s important to follow these carefully and always check with your PT before starting a new exercise program if you have any questions or concerns.
What if I have questions after my physical therapy session?
Your physical therapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!
Will insurance cover my physical therapy?
It depends on your insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physical therapy, but you should check with your provider to determine coverage and any associated fees. Please note that we are currently out of network with UHC.
How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?
The frequency of visits will depend on your individual goals and condition, but typically it is recommended that patients attend 2-3 times per week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks in order to maximize results. Your therapist will provide more details during your initial appointment.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Every person’s situation is unique; therefore the amount of time needed to reach goals varies. With commitment and dedication from both you and your physical therapist, you can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks. The more positive lifestyle changes you make, the faster your progress will be!
Will my physical therapist be able to answer any questions I have about my condition?
Yes! Your physical therapist should be available to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your condition or treatment plan. Don’t hesitate to bring up any issues that may arise during the course of therapy.
What if I feel too much pain during a session?
If at any time during your physical therapy session you experience increased pain, it’s important to let your therapist know so they can adjust the intensity or technique as necessary. Your therapist will work with you to make sure that treatment is comfortable and effective for you.
How will I know when I no longer need physical therapy?
Your physical therapist should be able to provide guidance on when it is appropriate to stop attending physical therapy sessions based on your progress, goals, and overall health status. It’s important to listen to your therapist and continue with treatment until they feel you are ready to move on.
