Course Description
The DN-3 Advanced course features an in-depth study of the hand muscles, several lower extremity and foot muscles, the craniofacial and craniomandibular muscles, the scalenes, and the longus colli muscles. Students will review the anatomy, function, and dry needling techniques for each muscle.

The Advanced dry needling course will bring the clinician to the highest level of clinical proficiency in the management of patients with myofascial pain. Completion of the DN-3 course fulfills the Florida requirement of the 25 supervised therapy sessions. During the DN-3 course, students will treat their fellow clinicians under the supervision of our qualified instructors. After all, we all have our aches and pains; this course offers students the opportunity to be treated, in addition to getting a great education!
