Intramuscular Dry Needling (IDN) can be an effective and useful adjunct to an overall treatment program for our orthopaedic and neuro-orthopaedic patients. This course is designed to cover dry needling techniques for the whole body for varied musculoskeletal conditions. Learning will take place through a combination of synchronous online sessions and in person practical sessions. These sessions will prepare you for the application and integration of dry needling to your caseload. The IDN course curriculum aligns with the current requirements outlined by the College of Physiotherapists of Manitoba (CPM) for dry needling rostering eligibility in Manitoba. Upon successful completion of the course, Manitoba registrants will need to apply to CPM’s dry needling roster as outlined by CPM’s Practice Direction in order to incorporate use of dry needling into physiotherapy practice. This course is only open to Physiotherapists.
