The physiological basis for DN depends upon the tar geted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of exce ssive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal musc le fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irri tability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are on ly painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characte rized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are perip heral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the d evelopment of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided i nto deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be elici ted by a snapping palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous ele ctrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentratio n of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemi cals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated wit h reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemic al milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superf icial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conductin g unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and referred pain and imp roved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan whe n myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent periphera l nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of mo tion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissu e restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dys function\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction \, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndro me\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, com plex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and othe r relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope of practice\, then is it time for you to learn this a mazing new technique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click here. \n\n \;\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Courses registration includes:\n • All needle supplies needed for the course\; you will be asked to bring along some other equipment to the course\n• An illustrated electronic course manual\n• Tea / coffee / snacks on each day\n• A signed certi ficate of attendance\n• One free premium listing of your practice on our  DNI.net website\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropract ors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual ther apists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupu ncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No min imum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected du e to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Profess ional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requ isite.\nSome sports / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scop e of practice with your professional organization\, theoretical and practi cal experience and having professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are no t sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professio nal organization or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title ='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Cr eate an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your details does not book you onto the course - you nee d to follow step 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have r egistered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booki ng below and choose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit bu tton below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\; Pay ment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply fol low the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to y ou now that you have made your booking.
