Providing comprehensive & safe dry needling courses
to manual therapists around the globe.
GEMt delivers to the manual therapists of New South Wales a range of dry needling courses in Sydney, aimed at allowing you to add trigger point dry needling (TDN) to the treatments offered by your practice. In addition to our Sydney courses, GEMt hosts a number of dry needling courses around Australia, as well as onsite hosting for clinics and practices; this guarantees that your entire staff has uniform skills and is equally trained.
This dry needling course in Sydney brings trigger point dry needling, a treatment that is being increasingly employed by clinicians all over the world, to all schools of manual therapy. GEMt courses combine the applications of two world-renowned TDN techniques, from Travell & Simons, as well as Dr Chan Gunn.
TDN has been shown as an effective treatment for a range of chronic and acute orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions. By undertaking the introductory/intermediate Sydney dry needling courses as an osteopath, chiropractor, physiotherapist or GP, you’ll be prepared to use TDN to treat all manner of pain and dysfunction in your patients such as:
- Shoulder
- Thigh
- Hip
- Lumbar and cervical spine
- Upper and lower extremities
Trigger point dry needling has been demonstrated to be an especially useful treatment for myofascial pain; the Sydney dry needling course offered by GEMt will instruct you in the use of fine filament needles to stimulate trigger points and lessen muscular dysfunction and pain. Many manual therapists across the globe are making this addition to their clinical expertise, and reducing the amount of strain in their wrists and thumbs from other treatment methods.
GEMt accepts all graduates from manual therapy schools to attend; new graduates are more than welcome. Our courses offer face-to-face learning with experienced instructors, as well as a 120-page colour manual.
After completing the dry needling training course in Sydney, you can elect to be added to the GEMt Australian practitioner directory. This ensures that potential patients looking for this kind of treatment can find you and your practice easily, so that they may experience the advantages of trigger point dry needling.
