The difficult muscles we will cover will include subscapularis lateral approach\; pec minor\, iliacus and psoas major (pos terior approach)\; piriformis and the deep external hip rotators\, interco stals\, QL upper fibres\, medial pterygoid\, scalenes\, popliteus\, supina tor and tibialis posterior - and many others requested by your the attendi ng pax.\nADVANCED DRY NEEDLING ONLINE COURSE - TAKE THIS STAY AT HOME OPP ORTUNITY DURING THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC TO UPSKILL OR RENEW YOUR ADVANCE D DRY NEEDLING TECHNIQUES\nPassed pax feedback\n\nIt was a great course an d platform to brush up on my practice and learn new approaches. As someone who has already done level 1&a2\, having the ability to take the advanced course online is very efficient\, time-saving and great value for money. Thank you Craig for organising it!

The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( Tr Ps) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperir ritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres th at produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Ac tive TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful w hen stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by loc al ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activ ation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral source s of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development o f peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting lo cal twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous syst em. 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 sna pping palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical acti vity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerou s nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and rel axation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced lo cal and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritab ility both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu an d pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinat ed C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular co rtex. Superficial DN may also be mediated througi stimulation of A delta f ibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with 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 fu nctional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptiv e input and their inactivation 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 restrictio ns\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified i n numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, d isk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, compute r-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, sp inal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regiona l pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in yo ur scope of practice\, then is it time for you to learn this amazing new t echnique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunc tion.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Online Course includes:\n\nAll resource material share d during the online course\;\nCertificate of attendance in digital form (w ith CPD points/hours depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 1 attendance course and the D N level 2 certification course and certifying as a dry needling practition er\;\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / p rofessionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, os teopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesi ologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally per mitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needli ng or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, adva nced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanc ed nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sp orts / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice w ith your professional organization\, theoretical and practical experience and having professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professional organizatio n or you can email us here. \n\n[/spoiler]\n[spoiler title='How to book f or this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account \; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the t op menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registeri ng your details does not book you onto the course - you need to follow ste p 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 ch oose 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 Tr ansfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made your booking.
