Why the Advanced Integrated Dry Needling course for the Knee?

Dry Needling & Knee Pain

Almost every single person has experienced knee pain of some kind at some point in their lives.
• According to 2012 data, the prevalence rate of OA in both rural and urban India was ranging from 33% to 46% of the older adult population where females were more affected than men.
• TKR demand has increased by 300% over the last 20 years. 60% of TKR patients experienced severe pain in the first month.
• ITBS accounts for 22% of all running injuries, making it the second most common running injury.

This course aims to;
• Bridge the gap between traditional manual therapy and advanced rehabilitation techniques;
• Address both local and central pain mechanisms;
• Provide a powerful tool for physiotherapists to improve patient outcomes, especially when integrated into a broader, patient-centered physiotherapy plan.
