What is Dry Needling and Who is Sue Falsone?
Using the technique of dry needling, a licensed physiotherapist uses his skill with acupuncture needles to enter the dermis and stimulate the professional athlete’s muscles. At SFDN, creator and Chief Executive Officer Sue Falsone launched a hands-on dry needling concept named SFDN. The approach is characterized by a combination of techniques Sue Falsone combined and enhanced in the course of many years in the field. As a real leader in her field of expertise, Sue Falsone served as Head Athletic Trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, which made her the very first female to assume the position of Head Athletic Trainer in the four major sports in America. The the United States Men’s National Soccer team also perceived her skills and gave her the job of Head Athletic Trainer.
