The physio logical basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment object ives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different p hysiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissu e\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/ or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and late nt TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontan eously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypox ia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nocic eptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and cent ral sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into 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 co ntractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation or pe netration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alle viation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplat e noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, infla mmatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut b and.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain \, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally an d more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal musc le and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate m echanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting 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 stretc hing of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated wit h reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, w hich may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their ina ctivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is i ndicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractured muscle f ibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendi nopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tens ion-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetiti ve strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pe lvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sp orts 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 time for you to learn this amazing new technique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more inf ormation about Dry Needling\, click here.\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Cour ses registration includes:\n• All supplies needed for the course as need les\, tissues\n• Coloured and illustrated course manual\n• Tea\, Coffe e and Lunch on each day\n• Certificate of attendance in a digital form\n • One free premium listing of your practice on our website\nPlease note: \nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clin ical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors \, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle i n your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acu puncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation ski lls and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in d epth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / rehab / mas sage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professio nal organization\, theoretical and practical experience and having profess ional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within yo ur scope of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n \;\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\nPlease book and pay for your course fees directly via our local Italian partners\; www.corsi-ecm-fisioterapist i.it\nCourse fees are\; 540€ + Italian VAT = 671€ - if paid more than a month before the course.\nplease make payment to Gaspare Marco Cassano\; iban : IT54Q0306909465100000012130.\n\nYou can still register your detail s on the club-physio.com website to receive all your pre-course info and c ommunicate with the instructor ahead of the course.\n\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' butto n 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 need to follow step 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have regist ered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking be low and choose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow t he payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you no w that you have made your booking.
