I strongly against the proposal that allows the physical therapists to practice dry needling.
 

As a licensed acupuncturist with more than 20 years of experience, I had more than 2000 hours of learning and practice to master the skill to practice dry needling. I strongly against that PTs are allowed to practice dry needling without the equivalent practice and learning because this is really dangerous to public health.
