Description
This is a certification which serves a 4 whopping days of clinical knowledge. Here we will look into History taking, Anatomical, Theoretical, Practical hands-on and clinical aspects of Dry Needling, in addition to safety precautions and guidelines. Each muscle covered is reviewed in regards with origin, insertion, neuromuscular, vascular components and safety guidelines. Safety and efficacy of treatment both are focused. We recommend participants in the course to be familiar with anatomy and muscle function, although we will provide an update on anatomy and palpation skills.
Trigger Point Release
Effectively identify and treat myofascial trigger points to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and restore function.
Neuro-Muscular Reprogramming
Use dry needling to deactivate faulty neuromuscular patterns and support lasting clinical outcomes.
Immediate Clinical Integration
Gain hands-on practice to start applying dry needling techniques confidently in your clinical sessions right away.
