OPPOSE!
'Dry needling' is Acupuncture, & is out of scope for a PT.
Pass the national Acupuncture exam 1st!
If you want to insert a filiform needle into a patient, it's called Acupuncture. My training consisted of 4 years FULL time & 3200+ hours. How many hours do PT's get in Acupuncture? Pass the national Exam in Oriental Medicine & then you can have the honor.
