About Dry Needling and Sue Falsone
[shaker_image]Dry needling, a blend of art and science, is performed by a skilled physiotherapist who works with acupuncture needles to stimulate the muscles of the athlete. Sue Falsone, the founder and CEO of Structure and Function Dry Needling, developed a practical dry needling concept that is called SFDN, the namesake of her business. Over the course of her years in the business, Falsone gathered an incredible amount of expertise which she used to invent her dry needling system. Sue spent time working as Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Dodgers, where she worked as the first woman to assume the role of Head Athletic Coach in any of the four most important sports in the US. Also, Sue Falsone worked as the Head Athletic Trainer for the US Men’s National Soccer team.
