This comprehensive course offers an in-depth exploration of trigger point and motor point therapy, focusing on the distinctions and synergies between dry needling and traditional acupuncture.
Gain expertise in mapping motor points and applying advanced techniques such as electrical stimulation (e-stim) and cupping on motor points. There will be an emphasis on hands-on learning, including guidance on palpation and needling both trigger and motor points.
Observe demonstrations of needle protocols and engage in practical sessions to master these techniques. The course also provides detailed treatment protocols for common joint and musculoskeletal conditions, ensuring practitioners can effectively integrate trigger point needling into holistic treatment strategies for their patients.
