Sue Falsone, the woman behind the company and Chief Executive Officer of Structure and Function Dry Needling, started a real-world dry needling concept called SFDN, the namesake of her business. This concept is defined by a mix of techniques Sue combined and enhanced over a couple of years in the business. Sue Falsone spent time working as Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Dodgers organization, where she worked as the first woman to assume the role of Head Athletic Coach in all of the 4 most important sports in America. Also, she worked as the Head Athletic Coach for the American Men’s National Soccer team.
