Sue Falsone, the creator and Chief Executive Officer of Structure and Function Dry Needling, launched a practical dry needling approach that is called Structure and Function Dry Needling, the namesake of her organization! Over the course of the decade in the business, Sue Falsone garnered a great amount of expertise which she then used to perfect her dry needling concept. Sue Falsone worked as Head Athletic Trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, a period where she was the first woman to assume the role of Head Athletic Trainer in all of the 4 most popular sports in the United States. She also spent some time working as the Head Athletic Coach for the United States Men’s National Soccer team.
