Oppose PTs dry needling
 

dry needling is acupuncture. Allowing physical therapists to practice acupuncture without adequate training is a public safety concern  for profit, non regulated associations providing "training" for dry needling is unacceptable and unsafe  dry needling is a way for physical therapists to avoid to stringent requirements of this state to achieve a license to practice acupuncture  please do not allow PTs to put the public in harm  thank you
