RegisterIt's a great course, not just to learn the techniques of dry needling but to learn the concepts of the functional assessment; implementing myotome screening will significantly change my outcomes and success as a PT.
I loved the course, it made me feel a new wave of excitement about our field. I felt confident applying the skill in clinic the next day.
