At Structure & Function Dry Needling, creator and Chief Executive Officer Sue Falsone launched a hands-on dry needling system named SFDN. This system is characterized by a combination of techniques Sue introduced and improved over the course of several decades in the business. Sue worked as Head Athletic Coach for the LA Dodgers organization, during which she was the first female Head Athletic Coach in all of the 4 most popular sports in the US. Also, Sue spent some time working as the Head Athletic Coach for the US Men’s National Soccer team.
