Dry Needling course

The most comprehensive Dry Needling course available in Australia and New Zealand is now launching in the UK, provided by Advanced Clinical Education (ACE).

This course is designed specifically for allied health professionals, including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myotherapists, occupational therapists and remedial therapists. It consists of comprehensive pre-course learning material combined with 24 hours of practical dry needling training over 3 days. Participants will also receive free lifetime access to over 6 hours of post-course video material to cover all techniques that were taught during the practical training.

The course equips you with everything you need to start practising confidently on clients immediately after completing the course. The program is evidence-informed, meeting the requirements for professional associations, and offers a contemporary approach to dry needling that integrates scientific literature with practical application and sound clinical reasoning. You'll gain the skills and knowledge needed to deliver safe and effective treatments with confidence.

"I couldn’t recommend the 3-Day Dry Needling course more highly. The pre-course material was easy to access and delivered in digestible segments so I could work through it at my own pace. AND everything was relevant – it wasn’t too much information that I felt lost but it also wasn’t too little that I was left with questions either."
