Course Description

This course is a 16-hour advanced home study course to utilize DN in clinical practice and is open to Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Chiropractors, Physicians, Nurses, Physician’s Assistants and Athletic Trainers. Licensed Physical Therapist Assistants and Occupational Assistants may also take the course if DN is within the scope of practice in that state.

This course is a two-day course to utilize dry needling of the pelvic floor in clinical practice and is open to physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, physicians, physician’s assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, athletic trainers, and physical therapist assistant/occupational therapist assistant (per each state’s written guidelines).

Master Dry Needling of the Pelvis is a lab intensive homestudy course designed to instruct participants in the application of dry needling to female and male pelvic musculature and associated neuroanatomical structures including the thoracolumbar spine, abdomen, pelvis and hip joint complex. This course will provide a comprehensive review of anatomy, practice hands-on examination techniques and discuss clinical reasoning related to disorders of the pelvic region. This course is a revolutionary approach to treating patients with pelvic dysfunction commonly associated with pelvic pain, low back pain, incontinence, voiding dysfunction and/or sexual pain or dysfunction. Dry needling will assist with the restoration of muscle function, improve proprioception, reduce and eliminate pain, and normalize tissue sensitivity to optimize patients’ function and quality of life.

This course builds from the foundation of Master Dry Needling Level I and as such, this course, or an equivalent introductory dry needling course, will be required prior to registering for Pelvic Dry Needling.

Safety and the proper handling of potential blood borne pathogens associated with DN applications will be emphasized. The course is designed to place heavy emphasis on practical, hands-on practice.

Participants will review clinical anatomy and practice DN treatment of each tissue and region covered throughout the course. Each attendee will be expected to sign a waiver and practice DN on a lab partner.

NOTE: This course does not utilize needling of the internal pelvic floor.

Pregnant females are not allowed to participate in the course as all attendees are expected to needle lab partners.

Course Preparation

The course is designed to be completed in 2 days (if so desired), similar to our live, 2-day course. If the participant chooses not to do so they have one year to complete the course in order to receive CEUs.
Review all materials from prior Dry Needling course work.
Review neuromusculoskeletal anatomy around all major joints with a 3-D anatomy app. We highly recommend Human Anatomy Atlas by Visible Body because any practice drawings made when reviewing anatomy may be retained when the skin is replaced on the model so as to visualize topographical placement of the drawings.
ou must secure a volunteer to allow you to practice all techniques. This person cannot be pregnant. We strongly urge you to complete the course with another needling clinician to gain valuable feedback information!
The manual and presentation handouts will be emailed to you after you pay for the class. Please review.

It is your responsibility to provide all necessary needling supplies (as you have been needling already).

Course Objectives

By the end of the course the participants will be able to -

Demonstrate competency with anatomy, palpation and the application of dry needling to the muscles of the pelvic, hip, lumbar, and abdominal regions.
Understand the rationale for selecting dry needling to achieve optimal patient outcomes using clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice.
Understand the involvement of the neurological system and dysfunction associated with the pelvic region.
Practice the application of electrical stimulation with dry needling to the pelvic structures and associated anatomical structures to improve identified neuromuscular dysfunction.
Determine the patient’s mechanism of injury or surgical interventions to decide which pelvic region dry needling interventions are most effective.
Determine pelvic musculature that presents as atrophy versus hypertonus dysfunction as contributing factors to patient complaints.
Perform dry needling techniques to the pelvic region utilizing all safety considerations and techniques.
Determine the appropriate depth of needle insertion, based upon patient complaint and tissue involvement, to achieve desired patient outcome.
Pass a written examination on dry needling of the pelvic region.
