Trigger Point Dry Needling Advanced Training
NOW A 2.5 DAY COURSE Including Real Time Ultra Sound
We have extended the course, added new content AND kept the price the same...
The advanced 2.5 day course builds upon the techniques taught in the Introductory course. The course involves a combination of lectures and demonstrations, coupled with ample practical supervision to hone your dry needling skills.
New to the advanced GEMt course is the use of the Sonosite Titan Ultrasound System. The integration of imaging techniques into the course enables detailed viewing of anatomy and a greater ability to teach safe and effective needling techniques.
Pre-course reading – Links to the latest research articles will be sent to all registrants along with the Advanced Course Muscle Chart (essential to review prior to course).
Topics to be covered include;
- Review and update of needling safety procedures and precautions
- Review of Neuropathic assessment techniques
