Come to a differential diagnosis;
Identify activating and perpetuating factors for each muscle;
Treat these trigger points using acupuncture Dry Needling;
Provide corrective action and advice to the patient; and

Thank you for a great 2-day course, dry needling was hands-on with great supervision and feedback in being effective in the techniques. I recommend any Physio to apply for this course to add skills and enhance treatment sessions to your patients. Lesedi Polo, Physiotherapist
It was a lot of fun, I learned so much and I strongly believe that I can use the newly acquired skills in my clinical area, Thank you.
