Trigger Point Acupuncture/Dry Needling and MyoFascial Techniques of the Upper & Lower Body 3-Day Seminar is organized by ASE Seminars and will be held from Jan 24 - 26, 2025 at Hampton Inn Tampa-Veterans Expwy (Airport North), Tampa, Florida, United States of America.

Description: 
This 3-day, 23-hour seminar will teach you the skills you need to implement trigger point needling, also known as dry needling of the upper and lower body. The most common trigger points and their associated muscles are covered. To gain solid ability in using dry needling and treating trigger points, the practitioner must have the ability to palpate, locate trigger points, and needle properly. This seminar will cover those core skills necessary to practice dry needling and trigger point acupuncture. In addition to needling, the practitioner will also learn myofascial soft tissue techniques for treating muscular pathologies, taut bands, and trigger points.

The in-person component to this seminar minimizes lecture and focuses on hands-on practice. With that, there will be pre-requisite video on the Fundamentals of trigger points and dry needling. If you are new to this type of needling, there is also a pre-requisite needling skills class on the Thursday before the seminar. See details below.
