Physical therapist are not trained in acupuncture which is also called dry needling.
 

I'm a trained acupuncturist/ dry needler.

 I'm sure physical ttherapist would be all up in arms if I practiced Physical therapy under my acupuncture license with little to no training and tried to disguise the therapy using another name. It's incorrigible! Not to mention illegal!
