Dry Needling Plus Level 1 PDF  | Print |
The Dry Needling Plus approach to dry needling utilises effective acupuncture techniques to treat movement dysfunctions, based on a biomechanical assessment and palpation of tissues. This encompasses but is not limited to just trigger point release as taught in many other dry needling courses. Treatment is aimed at immediately improving range and patterns of movement. Dry Needling uses a solid, filament needle, as is used in the practice of acupuncture. It reduces the majority of the “hand breaking” manual therapy techniques commonly used in a clinical setting, preserving the therapists highly skilled hands for more subtle techniques. This course meets the requirements stipulated in the Guidelines for Safe Acupuncture and Dry Needling Practice (2007) released by the Australian Society of Acupuncture Physiotherapists Inc (ASAP).
