Against PT dry needling
 

As a Physical Therapist, we are often threatened by the world's perception of what we do in comparison to those who are Personal Trainers: a job that does not require a college degree or even a formal education program. That said, I feel Physical Therapists should practice within their own scope of practice of which we spend years investing in and allow those w/ a license and education and practicum experience to practice acupuncture. Working together for a common purpose: to bring a happy and painfree life to our patients.
