The physiological basis for DN depends upon t he targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial t rigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment o f excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues . TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeleta l muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n \nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree o f irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, ch aracterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and al tered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be div ided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate Tr Ps by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the ce ntral nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that 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 ha s been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneo us electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concen tration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associat ed with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and dec reased 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 con ducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the an terior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated througi stimul ation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective t issue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and referred pain a nd improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment pl an when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impairments in pos ture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent per ipheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with curren t 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\, joi nt dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfu nction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash asso ciated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia \, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps an d other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapi st 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 thei r pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click  here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Online Course includes:\n\nAll resou rce 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 attendanc e course and the DN level 2 certification course and certifying as a dry n eedling practitioner\;\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthc are therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropr actors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual t herapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and ac upuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and y ou are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience required but presu med anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Prof essional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-r equisite.\nSome sports / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to s cope of practice with your professional organization\, theoretical and pra ctical experience and having professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your profes sional organization or you can email us here. \n\n[/spoiler]\n[spoiler ti tle='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profil e' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your s eat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please n ote 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 hav e registered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your bo oking 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: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed t o you now that you have made your booking.
