What is Dry Needling and Who is Sue Falsone?
Dry needling, as a blend of art and science, is performed by a physical therapist who uses his knowledge of dry needles to stimulate the athlete’s muscles. At Structure & Function Dry Needling, creator and CEO Sue Falsone launched a hands-on dry needling concept called Structure & Function: Dry Needling! Over the course of the decade in the business, Sue Falsone gathered an incredible amount of expertise which she used to develop her dry needling system. As a true leader in her field, Sue served as Head Athletic Coach for the LA Dodgers, making her the first woman in the position of Head Athletic Coach in the four most important sports in America. The the United States Men’s National Soccer team also perceived her accomplishments and offered her the role of Head Athletic Trainer.
