About Dry Needling and Sue Falsone
In the world of dry needling, an expert approved medical professional uses dry needles to prick the dermis 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 concept called SFDN, which shares a name with her organization! Throughout her years in the industry, Falsone gathered a tremendous amount of experience which she then used to invent her dry needling system. As an original leader in her area, she served as Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Dodgers, making her the very first female to assume the position of Head Athletic Trainer in the four most important sports in the United States. The the United States Men’s National Soccer team also recognized her competence and made her Head Athletic Trainer.
