The physiological basis f or DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treat ment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological ba sis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, an d connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pai n when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs depende nt upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\ , while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiologic al contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitizati on.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been sh own to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex th at is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mit igation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a red uction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and i mmune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved ran ge of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely . DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectl y\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be med iated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibrobl asts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead t o impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sourc es of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is co nsistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with r estrictions in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut b ands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or sc ar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses ane can treat r adiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cra nio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headac hes\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disor ders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, pos t-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope of practice\, then is it ti me for you to learn this amazing new technique to help your patients and c lients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Course registrati on includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the course\;\n An ill ustrated electronic course manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to h elp you best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks on each day\;\n Certif icate of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD points depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on our website.\n\nPlease note:\nDry N eedling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical ph ysiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatr ists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurs es\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is with in your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupunctur e experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth st ructure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your pr ofessional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / rehab / massage th erapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional org anization\, theoretical and practical experience and having professional i ndemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scop e of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us her e. \n[/spoiler]\n\n \;\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course ?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register yo ur details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we ne ed your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminar y materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your detail s does not book you onto the course - you need to follow step 2 below.\n\n • Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and choose your paym ent method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Ch oose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on th e proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made you r booking.
