Dry Needling Course: Combined Online | Practical | Wet Lab Workshop

The Level 1- Introductory Course is designed as a ‘taster/refresher course’ for practitioners to determine if they like the modality of dry needling or for those who may have limited experience and wish to update their prior learning. It combines online theory learning (1 day), face-to-face practical skill development (1.5 days), and a 2-hour wet lab to develop or review your understanding of 3D anatomy.

Muscles taught are clinically important and will enable participants to develop needling technique and palpation skills. Considerable focus is on surface anatomy, tissue localisation, and knowledge of tissue at depth. Fibromyalgia is also covered. Participants who have completed this course have fulfilled the minimum study requirement and demonstrated competency in the techniques taught in the Level 1 - Introductory Course, enabling participants to commence dry needling immediately.
