Its a refreshing course\, able to concentrate better coz its only 4 h ours per day and learning from your comfort\, saving on travel and accommo dation and reasonable to enroll . Its informative\, brushing up on all the anatomy and theory aspects of the DN and interactive being able to commun icate and ask questions. I will definitely recommend it to everyone who wa nts to do DN or top up their skills - Martha\n\nI had an excellent experie nce with this DN online course. Craig has great teaching skills to pass on Knowledge and always kind to answer any question. Very nice to get the vi deo recording and pdf's as the materials to study with. I wish we could ha ve received the pdf's in advance to help during the class time. Thank you for this opportunity at these quarentine times! :) Priscilla\nDRY NEEDLING FOR THE MAIN MUSCLES - ONLINE REVIEW COURSE\; MODULES 1-8 via zoom live s treaming -WILL BE DIVIDED UP INTO 8 REVIEW MODULES WITH 1 MODULE BEING PRE SENTED ON EACH DAY - SIGN UP FOR A SINGLE MODULE OR MULTIPLE MODULES - Cou rse times for each day\; 9AM - 12noon South Africa times (3hrs max each mo dule)\; please check your own local times.\nTAKE THIS STAY AT HOME OPPORTU NITY DURING THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC TO UPSKILL OR RENEW YOUR DRY NEEDLIN G TECHNIQUES FOR THE SPINE\, UPPER AND LOWER QUARTER AND THE PELVIS…. \n [/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='Course material']\nWhy Dry Needling?\nDry Ne edling (DN) is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points\, mu scular\, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.\nDN is used to treat dysfunctions in skele tal muscle\, fascia and connective tissue and diminish persistent peripher al nociceptive input and reduce or restore impairments of function leading to improved activity and participation. The physiological basis for DN de pends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connec tive tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contract ured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when s timulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contr actures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nocicep tors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus con tributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nD N can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to i nactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulat ed by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is ch aracterized 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 mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction o f the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune sy stem related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of mo tion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN nor malizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local c irculation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stim ulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated th rougi stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and ref erred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impair ments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of pe rsistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restricti ons in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, o r other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissu e. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculop athies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mand ibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, ca rpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, w hiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpet ic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturn al cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft ti ssue therapist and DN is in your scope of practice\, then is it time for y ou to learn this amazing new technique to help your patients and clients o vercome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Need ling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Online Course includes:\ n\nAll resource material shared during the online course\;\nCertificate of attendance in digital form (with CPD points/hours depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\nPathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 1 attendance course and the DN level 2 certification course and certifyin g as a dry needling practitioner\;\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT' s)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specia lists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of pr actice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience requir ed but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN c ourses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional organization\, theoret ical and practical experience and having 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\n[/spoiler]\ n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\ n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on th e 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to re serve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - p s\; please note that registering your details does not book you onto the c ourse - 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 su bmit your booking below and choose your payment method\; to book\, click o n the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment met hod below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transf er\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has be en emailed to you now that you have made your booking.
