Dry Needling Courses by ODNS
ODNS teaches an integrated approach to Trigger point needling and pathology, providing the student with a thorough understanding of the MTrP and how it is affected by Dry Needling. ODNS courses are all strongly practical in nature with good participant – facilitator ratios and are supported by a comprehensive manual.
Our courses may be run as three day full contact courses or may be run as Hybrid courses where the theory is done as an online component followed by two days of practical work. We will tailor our courses to fit your international needs – but all courses will need to meet ODNS standards, content and time requirements.
We conduct high quality, evidence based courses with experienced physiotherapists as lecturers. All courses carry formal practical assessments as an integral part of the course

Self study component:
Participants are encouraged to write up a series of abbreviated case reports for review by the clinical assistants. This encourages reflective practice and is offered free of charge to existing course participants.
Anatomy:
Accurate anatomical knowledge is the cornerstone of any physical therapy treatment. We support this by offering a one day Anatomy module hosted by Anatomists and our lecturers at local Medical Schools. These modules are assessed independently of the practical needling modules.
