Course Description:
This is the first part of a two series certification which serves two extensive days of clinical knowledge. We will look into the historical, anatomical, theoretical, practical hands-on and clinical aspects of Dry Needling, in addition to efficiency of treatment, safety precautions and guidelines. Each muscle covered is reviewed in regards to it's origin, insertion, neuromuscular and vascular components. We recommend participants are very familiar with anatomy and muscle function, although we will provide an update on anatomy and palpation skills. Accurate and specific anatomical knowledge is the cornerstone of any physical therapy treatment.
Course Objectives:
Understand the specific indications and contraindications of Dry Needling
Be able to apply treatment in accordance to the safety guidelines rules
Know when and where to appropriately apply treatment, follow assessment procedures
Know possible side effects and complications of DN and will be able to react appropriately
Locate and efficiently palpate specific muscles
Update and revise detailed understanding and knowledge of anatomy and myofascial trigger points
Gain plenty of hands-on practical experience
Course Aims:
Understand basic scientific backgrounds of myofascial trigger points and identify features of these by physical examination. Use surface anatomy palpation and knowledge of function to be able to identify the trunk, head, spine, pelvis, hip, thigh, neck, shoulder, upper and lower extremity, TMJ, hand and foot muscles. Know clinical symptoms and perpetuating factors of each muscle.
Course Outcome:
Participants will have strong clinical reasoning for using Dry Needling in conjunction with treatments available to practitioners. Participants will provide safe and effective treatment of muscular dysfunction(s) using Dry Needling.
What is covered:
Day 1
Day 2
Pre- requirements:

Why take Dry Needling Clinic with us?
As always we have been the top choice for our high quality course content and the ability to break concepts down to understand and apply. Our DNC covers extensive clinical findings, applications and technique specifications so that every individual will be confident in using Dry Needling treatment upon completion of the course. Our facilitators have extensively studied and practiced Dry Needling with a minimum of 1500 hours combined, so that they can use their experience in a format to all participants to identify common mistakes and how to enhance techniques and treatments for individuals. Our course structure is formatted in such a way that participants will have plenty of hands on practise monitored under our experts. We are always in the frontier of latest clinical findings as we support ongoing research and evidence based protocols.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is strongly advised that pregnant women DO NOT participate in this course due to risks associated/ involved with the practical sessions! If you know you have become pregnant by the time your course begins, please notify us and we will allow you to re-enroll at a later date.
