Sue Falsone and Dry Needling
[shaker_image]Using the technique of dry needling, an expert certified medical professional uses dry needles to penetrate the epidermis and stimulate the professional athlete’s muscles. At SFDN, founder and CEO Sue Falsone launched a hands-on dry needling concept called Structure & Function: Dry Needling! The concept is regarded as a combination of techniques Falsone combined and perfected over several years in the business. As a true leader in her area of expertise, she worked as Head Athletic Coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, making her the first female to assume the position of Head Athletic Trainer in the four most important sports in the United States. The American Men’s National Soccer team also perceived her skills and offered her the role of Head Athletic Trainer.
Course Objectives

- to be able to use intramuscular stimulation in treating commonplace ortho and sports-related conditions; and to master various cupping techniques.
- to familiarize with the health professional the contraindications and safety measures when using said technique;
- to enable the clinicians to utilize dry needling techniques when addressing various ortho and sports-related conditions;
Upon completion of the course, the students will have mastered their newly found skills, and will manage to use them to treat their athletes.

Structure & Function’s dry needling events teach the newest approach to the science and art of dry needling, as well as intramuscular stimulation and cupping. Sue Falsone made use of her competence and expertise to combine pain management, dry needling, fascial manipulation, visceral manipulation, movement efficacy, soft tissue mobilization, and differential diagnosis to make the dry needling system currently sought after and praised all over America.
