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.

We also teach practitioners in private clinics & hospitals that manage aches & pains in the general population as well as those who work in pain clinics.
