This is a hybrid course: Introduction Trigger Point Dry Needling Level (7 hrs) and in-person course "Dry Needling for the Upper Quarter and Hand"
This two-day intensive will prepare participants to treat several diagnoses involving myofascial pain in the neck and upper quarter.
The importance of safety and clean techniques are taught and practiced throughout the workshop, ensuring that participants become accustomed to working with gloves and maintaining a neat and safe workspace throughout. They will practice the techniques of inserting, manipulating, removing, and disposing of the needles on the first morning of the course.
Students will learn and practice the use of superficial dry needling, including fascia and scars, periosteal pecking, and deep dry needling of the cervical, shoulder, upper arm, forearm, thumb and hand muscles.
Case studies are included to apply clinical reasoning and recognize common indications for dry needling.
Students are examined at the end of each day with a practical competency exam.
