Oppose dry needling by PT without adequate training to practice
 

Accoding PT logical, PT have exceptional understand of Neurmusculaskeletal antormy of core training, than allow them to do trigger point acupuncture ( dry needling) without adequate training and show to a third party whether or not competence.

Later, may they ask board of management to allow them to do surgery on patient for Neurmusculokeletal problem by just change the name like "Dry knifing" that definitively distinct and seperate from surgery, and plus a few weekend hours traing, did you allow them to do that?
