About Dry Needling and Sue Falsone

Sue Falsone, the creator and Chief Executive Officer of Structure and Function Dry Needling, developed a hands-on dry needling approach that is called SFDN, which shares a name with her company. The approach is regarded as a mix of techniques Sue combined and perfected over the course of a couple of years in the field. Sue Falsone worked as Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Dodgers, where she worked as the first female Head Athletic Coach in any of the four major sports in America. She also spent some time working as the Head Athletic Coach for the American Men’s National Soccer team.
