Dry Needling, also known as Myofascial Trigger Point (MTP) needling, is a highly effective treatment aimed at addressing muscle-related issues such as pain, muscle knots, and trigger points throughout the body. By targeting specific areas with thin, sterile needles, this therapy helps alleviate localized pain and enhance the patient’s range of motion. Dry Needling can be applied to most muscles in the body, including tendon insertions, making it a versatile and valuable technique for promoting overall musculoskeletal well-being.

Additionally, they will gain proficiency in employing various forms of stimulation for specific muscles or muscle groups.
