Course description
Elevate Dry Needling Level I is a 2-day intensive designed to build true competency: not just technical skill, but the clinical reasoning behind why, when, and where to needle. It’s the first of a two-level pathway, with Level II: Advanced progressing into more complex regions and clinical presentations.
This course blends:
✔️ Technical precision
✔️ Neuromuscular assessment frameworks
✔️ Evidence-informed clinical reasoning
✔️ Uncompromising safety standards
More Than a Weekend Course
Learn at your pace through a comprehensive online program, with modules, quizzes, technique videos, and guided clinical case studies, that thoroughly prepares you for the hands-on weekend. You’ll arrive ready to spend your two days in person where it matters most: extensive hands-on practice in assessment, landmarking, and precise needle placement, with real-time instructor feedback.
Above all we prioritize safety and clinical effectiveness and strive for the highest possible teaching quality in our courses.
Aside from learning techniques, instructors also provide ample practice time as well as common clinically relevant practical scenarios so you will be ready to use this skill professionally and adeptly immediately after completing our course
