Strongly against dry needling!!!
 

Acupuncture is a science, practitioners who perform acupuncture have to go through formal training. Dry needling is a form of acupuncture. Under the proposal of PT, they only need two weeks training in order to perform dry needling. That is absolutely dangerous to the profession and against the wish of all patients.
