Develop essential medical & clinical skills with expert instruction and practical examples.
An online mentorship course for healthcare professionals that are legally allowed to utilize dry needling as part of their scope of practice. This video-based course is designed to improve your clinical reasoning, client education and technical skills with dry needling. Physiotherapist Brent Stevenson of WhyThingsHurt and Envision Physiotherapy walks you through every step of how and why he uses IMS in his practice.
The course is intended for clinicians that are already certified in some level of dry needling but would like to improve their skill and confidence of their clinical practice.
