PT does not have needling procedure in their scope of practice, no matter what name the PT use in order to bypass the lawand regulation.Second, their weekend training without clinical supervision is too short and unsafe to the public. Life-threatening injuries have happened. Changing the name of acupuncture to dry needling and explaining the mechanism into western science perspective does not change the invasive needling procedure. PT uses acupuncture needles and were taught by acupuncturists to do the trigger points needling to begin with! If the PT wants to do needling, they should study the same amount of time with clinical supervision. Public safety should be their top priority. Do NO harm to their patients. You won't allow an unqualified person to do surgery or work on someone's teeth. Why would you allow an unqualified profession to risk the public's health by doing invasive needling?
