The Functional Dry Needling Certification is an in-depth, well-rounded approach to dry needling that progresses from foundational dry needling skills to more advanced strategies and corrective reinforcements. Certification candidates become highly skilled clinicians who incorporate FDN diagnostically and therapeutically alongside other interventions and exercise progression. The certification culminates in a faculty-mentored case presentation project that relates theory to practice and demonstrates synthesis of advanced knowledge of application of dry needling into the clinical care.
