Dry Needling for Musculoskeletal Conditions
This dry needling training is delivered in three focused weekend modules, designed to provide practical, clinically relevant skills that can be applied immediately in practice.
Training emphasizes functional anatomy, precise palpation, and safe needle insertion, with a strong focus on musculoskeletal conditions.
The modular structure allows participants to progress at their own pace and complete training alongside their clinical commitments.
Prior to attending their first in-person module, participants must complete a one-time online module covering safety and hygiene.
❋ Program Structure
• Module 1: Axial Regions (Spine & Trunk)
Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions, including key musculature, anatomical landmarks, and common clinical applications
• Module 2: Lower Limb
Hip, thigh, leg, and foot, with emphasis on assessment and treatment of common conditions
• Module 3: Upper Limb
Shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand, integrating functional anatomy and clinical reasoning
Each module may be taken individually, offering flexibility in progression and scheduling.
❋ Who This Is For
• Healthcare professionals involved in musculoskeletal care
• Clinicians seeking to integrate dry needling into their existing practice
Participants must ensure all techniques fall within their professional scope of practice. It is the participant’s responsibility to confirm compliance with their regulatory body.
