Dry Needling and Sue Falsone
Dry needling, a combination of skill and art, is done by an expert physiotherapist who uses his knowledge of acupuncture needles to stimulate the athlete’s muscles. At Structure & Function Dry Needling, founder and Chief Executive Officer Sue Falsone developed a dry needling concept called SFDN! This system is defined by a mix of skills Sue combined and improved in the course of a couple of decades in the field. Sue Falsone worked as Head Athletic Trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where she served as the first female Head Athletic Trainer in any of the 4 most important sports in the United States. She also served as the Head Athletic Coach for the American Men’s National Soccer team.
