COURSE PREREQUISITES

1.    Participants must have completed an Introductory/Foundation Level Course (21 hours) in Trigger Point Dry Needling (not Acupuncture) from a recognised course provider. A copy of the previous course completion certificate must be submitted prior to attendance. This prerequisite ensures that participants already possess basic dry needling knowledge, fundamental techniques, and familiarity with the most commonly treated muscles. The aim of this course is to revise, enhance, and refine needling techniques.

2.    Dry Needling must fall within the participant’s professional scope of practice.

COURSE CONTENT 

Participants are encouraged to prepare a list of the myofascial trigger points they wish to revise and submit it prior to the course. A collective interest list will then be created, and the revision sessions will begin with the most requested muscle trigger points and progress to those of lower demand.
