Dry needling
 

Physical therapists are highly trained on the anatomy of the human body and how muscles and trigger points work. We are more than capable of performing dry needling effectively and most importantly, safely. As a result, I believe that physical therapists should be supported in their efforts to keep dry needling as a physical therapy practice.
