No dry needling by PT!
 

Physical therapists are not trained to do this. Without learning Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture systematically, which will take at least three years study in US, they won't know how to give acupuncture treatments properly to patients. So for the sake of patients, we must stop this action now!
