ATCs SHOULD be able to DN!
 

As an ATC myself, I feel that our extensive knowledge on the human anatomy is a great reason why we should be allowed to practice DN in our state. As we work on primarily the athletic population, this tool is a great source to include in our rehabilitative protocols for recovery and muscle energy techniques. We should have Level 1 certification under our list of credentials to practice this craft, along with 50 hours of supervised practice from another licensed professional.
