About Sue Falsone and Dry Needling
Combining the art and science of dry needling, an experienced certified medical professional uses acupuncture needles to penetrate the skin and stimulate the athlete’s muscles. Sue Falsone, the founder and CEO of SFDN, developed a practical dry needling system named SFDN, which shares a name with her business! The system is defined by a mix of techniques Sue Falsone introduced and enhanced over many years in the business. Sue worked as Head Athletic Coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, during which she served as the first woman to assume the role of Head Athletic Trainer in any of the four major sports in America. Also, Sue Falsone served as the Head Athletic Coach for the US Men’s National Soccer team.
