Dry Needling and Sue Falsone
[shaker_image]Using the technique of dry needling, an experienced licensed health care professional uses acupuncture needles to prick the dermis and stimulate the muscles of the athlete. Sue Falsone, the creator and Chief Executive Officer of Structure and Function Dry Needling, started a practical dry needling approach called Structure and Function Dry Needling, which shares a name with her business! In the course of her years in the industry, Falsone gathered an incredible amount of experience which she then used to develop her dry needling concept. As a real leader in her field, Sue Falsone worked as Head Athletic Coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, which made her the first woman in the position of Head Athletic Coach in the four most important sports in the US. The American Men’s National Soccer team also perceived her skills and gave her the job of Head Athletic Trainer.
Course Curriculum
