Who is Sue Falsone and What is Dry Needling?
Combining the art and science of dry needling, a certified physical therapist uses his skill with acupuncture needles to penetrate the epidermis and stimulate the muscles of the athlete. Sue Falsone, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Structure and Function Dry Needling, started a real-world dry needling system that is called Structure and Function Dry Needling, which shares a name with her company. The system is regarded as a combination of skills Sue introduced and perfected over a couple of decades in the business. Sue spent time working as Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Dodgers, during which she worked as the first woman to assume the role of Head Athletic Trainer in any of the 4 major sports in the US. She also served as the Head Athletic Coach for the US Men’s National Soccer team.
