What is dry needling?
Dry needling is based on the current understanding of neurophysiology and functional anatomy. Dry Needling builds on a health professionals existing medical knowledge.
We successfully train health practitioners who look after: AFL, basketball, Cycling, Cricket, Rugby, Hockey, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis, Golf, Runners, Dancers and other elite or social athletes.

The lecture series allows for quick progress. Our initial, very practical, two day course, will train you to be competent in the application of Dry Needling straight away.
