Kinetic Control is a technique which determines uncontrolled movement of major joints of our body. A thorough assessment, diagnosis and a comprehensive clinical reasoning will be carried out to evaluate the factors responsible for the problems. Each movement are carried out in different ways to perform any functional task (e.g picking up glass of water from floor) by using different group of muscles.
Patients often have symptoms like Pain, Paraethesias, Weakness, Stiffness, Instability, Numbness, Heaviness, Tingling sensations, hot cold, nausea etc. All of these symptoms are often linked with movement dysfunction or uncontrolled movement and hence identifying classifying these movement faults is essential.

Dry needling is carried out at superficial or deep tissue level. Dry needling is aimed at Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrP) that are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscles, that are caused due to Injuries, Muscle Cramps/Pull, Prolong Postures, Nutritional Deficiencies etc.
Conditions that are specifically treated with Dry Needling Are Cervical Spondylitis, Acute Lumbar Strains, ITB Syndrome, Sciatica etc.
