SUPPORT PT Dry Needling
 
With more than adequate & regulated training, PTs are qualified to perform Dry Needling. I advise looking into Myopain Seminars. Those who oppose may be lacking the information what Dry Needling is based upon & the basic neurophysiological science that makes it beneficial as a treatment. It is a skilled intervention that with effective training, shows how a PT does possess the knowledge & skill to provide this specific technique, especially in restoring function by diminishing or treating dysfunctions.
