Oppose to drying needling by PT
 

Dry needling should be practised by licensed acupuncturists with several years of study, training and internship.

It is dangerous and unfair to this medical science that physiotherapists with a much lower number of hours of study and training are able to practise just as licensed acupuncturists.
