No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.
Some sports/rehab/massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional organization, theoretical and practical experience and having professional indemnity insurance.

Dry Needling (DN) is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.
This connective tissue and muscle technique (Dry Needling therapy) is a type of acupuncture adapted to treat the common health problems of today. Traditional acupuncture is more about relieving pain and discomfort by opening up the flow of human energy (chi). The goal of this therapy is to apply directly to the trigger points, to reduce muscle pain, spasms, muscle relaxation, increasing the amplitude of movement. The term “dry” is due to the fact that no injections of liquids are allowed into the body during this procedure.
Needles are much thinner, more flexible, rounded rather than tapered at the sharp end, so they are not painful during a puncture compared to conventional injection needles.
