Oppose PT performing dry needling-without any educational requirement in dry needling in regulation
 

There is NO any educational requirement in PT board proposed regulation change in dry needling proctice.  It is irresponsible to the public safety and professional integrity.

PT board deleted proposed 54 hours training requirement in the draft of regulation change in last year. There were over 1400 comments which oppose PT to do dry needling in last year from public online comments(end on 12/31/2015).
