Yes to Physical Therapists performing Dry Needling
 

Physical therapist spend 7+ years of higher education, studying science and the human body. They are movement specialists, human anatomy specialists and dry needling has been a well researched and powerful tool for the care of their patients.  This is not the same as acupuncture.  This is a highly effective, SAFE tool with such great results for their patients.
