The physi ological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objec tives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tiss ue\, 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 lat ent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are sponta neously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypo xia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent noci ceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and cen tral sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Dee p 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 spina l cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the c ontractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation or p enetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with all eviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endpla te noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, infl ammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pai n\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally a nd more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal mus cle and restores local circulation. Suqerficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors 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 stret ching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated wi th 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 to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations . TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their in activation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres 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\, tend inopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, ten sion-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetit ive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, p elvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, s ports 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 you r patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more in formation about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling C ourse registration includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the co urse\;\n An illustrated electronic course manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to help you best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks on each day\;\n Certificate of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD p oints depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to co mpleting the Dry Needling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on our website.\n\nPle ase note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / profession als (clinical 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 in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or pre vious acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advaoced palp ation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insuranc e as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / re hab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional organization\, theoretical and practical experience and havin g professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this c ourse?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; regist er 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 preli minary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your d etails 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 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: I f you wish to pay via a bank transger\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have mad e your booking.
