Foundational Dry Needling Course for Physical Therapists

TP1 is foundational dry needling course. It also introduces clinicians to the Radiculopathic Model of Orthopedics (RMO)—a structured system designed to move beyond symptom-based care and toward identifying true drivers of dysfunction. This course teaches you how to assess the nervous system alongside movement and orthopedic findings to determine whether symptoms are centrally or peripherally driven.

Dry needling is introduced as a targeted clinical tool, with a strong emphasis on safety, palpation, and foundational technique. More importantly, you will learn when and why to use it within a structured decision-making process.

You’ll apply the Assess → Treat → Verify model in real time, using immediate feedback to guide treatment. Interventions are organized through the Triple R framework (Reset → Reinforce → Reload) to ensure changes are created, maintained, and progressed.

TP1 builds clinical clarity – helping you understand when treatment is effective, when it’s not, and when it’s time to pivot.
