Working definition: Athletic dry needling vs non-athletic dry needling.
There is not a difference between the wording.  We aim to take and make dry needling practical and easy to use.
We filmed professional-quality videos that are included in the course.
What got you started in Dry Needling?
I took 12 CEUs per year for 10 years
What is your favorite application?
The cervical seems to give the biggest outcomes
I love when people are stumped or out of options and willing to try anything
Weirdest needle
Needling has a systemic effect
Pelvic floor dry needling
There are a lot of barriers to entry for the secondary school AT.  
How do you walk through those?
Get the waiver specific to dry needling.
Use a lot less needles
Include stim and needles to reduce the number of needles needed.
Typically I use 16 -20 needles
Young kids, I use less than 10.
If someone is scared of needles, can they do this course?
We get this often.
I try to get them to try a few and see
We have only had one person no-show on the next day due to the fear of needles
When would you apply E-stim to needling?
Allows you to dose needling – essentially make it more or less intense.
Best used for pain mitigation
If they are hesitant
Find out their objections
