Online Courses for Dry Needling

Structure & Function Education online courses for dry needling are intended for practitioners who currently have dry needling in their practice, allowing a deeper dive into a specific topic to enhance the knowledge and application of dry needling within Structure & Function’s Pentamodal Method. These courses are also for practitioners who do not have dry needling in their practice, but are interested in learning more about the potential application of this modality and want to see how dry needling can enhance their practice but yet can’t needle.  None of these online courses for dry needling are meant to teach you dry needling, but rather discuss the philosophy and rationale for dry needling practice. 

At Structure & Function Education, our online dry needling courses are designed to empower healthcare professionals at every stage of their clinical journey—whether you currently integrate dry needling into your treatment protocols or are simply exploring its potential benefits.
These thoughtfully curated courses provide a deep dive into the clinical reasoning, philosophy, and evidence-based application behind dry needling.
