The Dry Needling Course is a two-day workshop accredited by iTEC. 

More Info

 Dry Needling ITEC level 4

Dry Needling is a highly effective treatment technique used to relieve muscular pain and dysfunction by targeting myofascial trigger points. Fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific muscles to reduce tension, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Dry Needling is commonly used to help with muscle pain, sports injuries, restricted movement, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It is a valuable treatment that can be used alongside manual therapy to achieve more effective and longer-lasting results.

This method is a great new skill to add to your existing qualifications or to offer as a standalone therapy.
