I cannot imagine this is an issue. I heard that you collected opinions last year and again this year. It is very bad to your reputation as an organization and bad to PT professionals. PT should do what they are trained for. From what you attempt to do here, I will NOT recommed PT for any of my family members, friends because PT may use some other pracrices that they are not trainded for, not just dry needle!
I had worked over ten years as IT professional before I started my new career in actuary. I worked very hard for more than five years to earn my actuary license. Actuary has very strict regulation on what we can express an opinion on. I am a health actuary and cannot sign anything that is non-heath, such as life insurance, property insurance becase the opinion we express has a signifcant impact to an organization financially. The same is true here. What PT does has significant impact to a person's life.
Tell your PT professionals to get licensed in Acupuncture before they put needles on prople's body and do not ask this kind of questions again. Do yourself and PT a favor, will you?
