YES to Dry Needling
 

Physical Therapists are experts of the neuromusculoskletal system and receive extensive education on anatomy, physiology and the human movement system.  Dry needling is a great tool for myofascial release and neuromuscular re-education that we are trained in and fully competent to use.
