About Sue Falsone and Dry Needling
Combining the art and science of dry needling, an expert licensed physical therapist uses acupuncture needles to penetrate the skin and stimulate the athlete’s muscles. At SFDN, creator and Chief Executive Officer Sue Falsone founded a dry needling concept called SFDN! This concept is regarded as a mix of techniques Sue combined and perfected over a couple of decades in the industry. Sue worked as Head Athletic Trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where she worked as the first female Head Athletic Trainer in all of the four most popular sports in America. She also served as the Head Athletic Trainer for the United States Men’s National Soccer team.
Objectives
The course was designed for the medical professional:
- to understand proper needle usage practices, and avoid potential blood borne diseases;
- to better understand the external anatomy of the patient in terms of his well-being when handling dry needles;
- to utilize intramuscular stimulation when curing different orthopedic and sports-related problems; and to excel in the use of vacuum therapy techniques.
- to acquaint with the health professional the contraindications and safety measures while using the aforementioned technique;
- to be able to use dry needling techniques in addressing commonplace orthopedic and sports-related pathologies;
When the course is finished, the students will be confident enough to use their newfound skills in order to treat various pathologies in ortho and sports medicine.
