Innovation in Dry Needling Level- 1
Learn or enhance your dry needling skills from Primal Labs. This is one of a two-level course series that teaches an eclectic approach to dry needling utilizing a variety of needles and treatment options. Instruction emphasizes the foundations of anatomy along with clinical reasoning to explore not only the skill of dry needling, but when and why to use various approaches based on clinical presentation.
Note: These Dry Needling courses teach all different regions of the body for two reasons 1) Offer much more clinical reasoning and experience to be able to treat the entire body. 2) The students training will not have as much needle soreness from being treated in the same area so much, so spreading the techniques out on the body helps a lot!
