Dry Needling and Sue Falsone
Dry needling, as a mix of art and science, is done by an expert physical therapist who works with acupuncture needles to stimulate the professional athlete’s muscles. At SFDN, creator and Chief Executive Officer Sue Falsone founded a hands-on dry needling approach called SFDN. This concept is characterized by a mix of skills Sue Falsone developed and enhanced over the course of many years in the business. As a true pioneer in her area, she was Head Athletic Coach for the LA Dodgers, which made her the very first female to assume the position of Head Athletic Coach in the four major sports in the United States. The the United States Men’s National Soccer team also saw her skills and gave her the job of Head Athletic Trainer.
