No Dry Needling by folks with insufficient training!
 

I do NOT recommend athletic trainers do Dry Needling - they could cause major issues including pneumothorax.

People who needle need much more training!
Nationally, it's 3-4 years and a licensure test.

This is bogus and a lie to the public!!!
