In the course of the decade in the business, Sue Falsone acquired an incredible amount of experience which she then used to develop her dry needling concept. Sue worked as Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Dodgers, during which she was the first woman to assume the role of Head Athletic Trainer in any of the four major sports in the US. Also, Sue spent some time working as the Head Athletic Trainer for the American Men’s National Soccer team.
