It will begin with a history of dry needling and its contrast and comparison to acupuncture.
This course IS NOT an acupuncture course. We will review relevant regional and three-dimensional anatomy as well as pathophysiology of common disorders as the weekend progresses.
It will cover the use of DN techniques in trigger points, myofascial pain syndromes and its use in musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. Also included will be musculotendinous, tenoperiosteal and ligamentous applications.
An introduction to Total Motion Release, founded by Tom Dalonzo-Baker, PT, will be included as time permits.
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
.
Pregnant females are not allowed to participate in the course as all attendees are expected to needle lab partners.
The art of “needle palpation” will be covered. This includes identifying different subdermal tissues as the tip of the needle advances into the body including normal and abnormal muscle tissue, scar tissue, ligaments, tendons, musculotendinous junction, adipose and periosteum.

Master Dry Needling - Outline
This course is a three day introductory course to enhance and expand upon the foundational principles offered in our 27-hour Level I course, Introduction to Dry Needling. While this course is still designed to place heavy emphasis on practical, hands-on training and practice, the attendee will be introduced to more detail of current research regarding DN efficacy, physiological effects, controversies and potential adverse effects. Peripheral and central sensitization issues will be discussed. The participant will be familiarized not only with HOW to needle but also WHAT functional outcomes may be influenced by needling, which is WHY we needle. As always, an emphasis will be placed on patient and clinician safety and proper handling of potential blood-borne pathogens. While many of the tissues covered in the Level One course were larger and more common clinically encountered muscle groups, more complex anatomical regions such as the face, hand and foot intrinsics will be taught in Level II. Relevant regional and three-dimensional anatomy (utilizing state-of-the-art software programs) as well as pathophysiology of common disorders will be covered as the weekend progresses. Level II also dedicates more time of DN beyond trigger point techniques to other soft tissue applications in musculotendinous, tenoperiosteal and ligamentous tissues. The art of “needle palpation” will be emphasized, allowing the participant to correctly distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue in different body types. Pre and post DN functional assessments will be included. Prior to post-course proficiency testing, multiple case studies will be presented. Each attendee will be expected to sign a waiver and practice DN on a lab partner. Pregnant females are not allowed to participate in the course as all attendees are expected to needle lab partners.

PELVIC DRY NEEDLING OUTLINE:
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 on-site 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.
LAB ATTIRE:
Participants are strongly encouraged to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that is easy for changing (i.e. skirts or athletic shorts) to our course. Due to temperature variations from clinic to clinic we would recommend wearing comfortable layers.
PREREQUISITES
• State practice act that includes dry needling as being within scope of practice.
• Active malpractice insurance (If you are covered by Employer /Clinic/Company/University/College malpractice insurance, then you can also take the class)

Total Motion Release has revolutionized the way that thousands of clinicians treat the human body by working on areas that are seemingly unrelated to the patient’s complaint and seeing tremendous results. We will explore dry needling through the TMR lens and teach you how to get fast and effective results by taking a global approach to your treatments.
Many runners complain about pain or problems in their IT band, quad, lateral knee and hip regions. In this master class, we will discuss dry needling techniques to solve these difficult issues and get runners back out on the road or trail and doing what they love.
Unfortunately, avid runners usually push through lower leg and ankle pain, exposing them to further pain or injury. As clinicians, it is our job to find the cause of the pain, fix it and keep them moving. Here, we will present a variety of dry needling techniques that we can employ to deal with things like gastroc/soleus pain, Achilles tendonitis/osis, Peroneal pain, shin splints, and more.
Hip pain and dysfunction can be incredibly challenging to deal with. Pathologies such as Femoral Acetabular Impingement, Hip Labral Tears, and Sports Hernias tend to be difficult to diagnose and treat. Here, we will discuss how dry needling can be a powerful tool for treating all of these conditions when used properly.
Dry needling the spinal region can be highly effective for just about any condition that a patient isexperiencing because of its impact on nerve roots. But, needling this area can also be intimidating for many clinicians. In this master class, we will review the basics of needling the spine to stay safe and discuss innovative ways to integrate needling this area into your larger treatment plan.
Dr Sara Austin will be discussing many of the items that she teaches in pelvic dry needling course presented by Master Dry Needling in an effort to introduce you to core concepts and techniques that are important for treating the pelvic region and special populations that benefit from needling this area of the body.
Combining electrical stimulation with dry needling can be a very powerful technique for down regulating pain in many patients. These techniques can be used as both a progression and a regression with our overall treatment approach. Unfortunately, there is limited information available on the proper parameters with e-stim and dry needling, so we will be discussing best practices as we currently understand them.
Almost every clinician is treating Sacroiliac Dysfunction because it is incredibly common. Effectively treating this area of the body when it is dysfunctional is vital because of its impact on the rest of the body. In this master class, we will discuss using dry needling to modify tone in important structures and treat SI related pain.
The improvements in diagnostic ultrasound in recent years have made it accessible to most, if not all clinicians. When used in conjunction with dry needling, ultrasound can improve needling techniques and help to visualize structures that we either want to needle or visualize structures that we want to avoid in an effort to stay safe. In this course, we will present the basics of diagnostic ultrasound and demonstrate how it can successfully be used in a clinical setting in conjunction with dry needling.
Overhead athletes can be defined in a number of ways, but for our purposes, it is anyone who repetitively performs motions above their head, including throwers, swimmers, volleyball players or factory workers. These individuals have special needs with respect to shoulder health and dry needling can and should be an integral part of their overall maintenance and care program.
Many overhead athletes, including throwing athletes, racquet sports and club sports experience pain and dysfunction in their wrist, forearm, elbow and upper arm. Dry needling can be highly effective in treating conditions involving the arm, especially when they are chronic in nature. During this webinar, we will present specific strategies for dry needling common conditions of the arm for this population
Anterior knee pain is extremely common in active individuals of all ages. Here, you will learn common causes of anterior knee pain and how to successfully treat knee pain with both a local and global approach.

While working in a large hospital in the early 1980’s his personal experience of mid-back pain that was unresponsive to traditional care led him on a quest of understanding myofascial dysfunction that eventually led to the works of Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David Simons. Their work has become common place today but was not widely known 30 years ago. Equipped with a better understanding of myofascial syndromes he proceeded to focus on myofascial issues in his physical therapy practice. He continued to follow their research and upon completion of Chiropractic College he was able to begin implementing needle therapy in his practice. He was finally able to treat trigger points as outlined in Travell and Simon’s work with dry needle approaches and enjoyed significant results. Because of his growing expertise in musculoskeletal issues with dry needle techniques, many professional athletes sought his care for not only injury recovery but performance enhancement as well. Although he obtained his certification in acupuncture he found the most satisfying treatment results with dry needle techniques and has retained this focus throughout his career. His search for effective techniques eventually led to Deitrich Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Klinghardt essentially brought the concepts of Neural Therapy from Germany to the United States. Neural Therapy includes extensive use of treating trigger points and other body tissues with needle-based techniques. As he trained with Dr. Klinghardt and other doctors attending his seminars he expanded the use of musculoskeletal needle therapy in his practice and even implemented them in two other medical practices on his off days from his own clinic.
Dr. Cooper is in his 37th year of professional practice and currently owns and operates Cooper Functional Services and Harwood Physical Therapy Clinic in Bedford, Texas. His main focus is orthopedics, manipulation and dry needling. He has been treating collegiate and professional athletes, including numerous Dallas Cowboys and other NFL players, since 1992. He is also an instructor for Total Motion Release Physical Therapy Seminars and is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Integrative Pain Management.
After Scott took his first dry needling course, dry needling quickly became a passion of his and he continues to be impressed with the patient outcomes and responses, and constantly seeks new opportunities to improve this skill. He earned more than 8 certifications in dry needling, served as guest instructors on the subject, and now teaches on a regular basis.
Health and wellness has always been important to Scott. Growing up, he led a very active lifestyle playing multiple sports. In college, he pursued his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Georgia State University. After several years working as a strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and tennis professional, he decided to pursue a career that would have a more direct impact on the health and wellbeing of the people he worked with.
The holistic approach to physical therapy led Scott to pursue extensive education and certifications in dry needling, functional movement, fascial manipulation, and many other modalities. Though he has experience with a variety of diagnoses, he specializes in working with neck and back related issues. He has also treated celebrities, professional athletes,( including several Atlanta Falcons), as well as many weekend warriors.
Scott is originally from Gainesville, Florida. He is the father of two twin girls and resides in Norcross. In his free time, Scott enjoys CrossFit, Spartan Races, and weekend adventures with his family.

Through the years, Sarah and Lisa’s love for learning and passion for whole body wellness, has led the team to pursue initiation of a well-rounded wellness facility whose focus is not only to restore wellness to the client, but also to empower all individuals to take personal ownership in the management of their personal wellness. This passion and drive helped the due ignite the creation of Wellpoint Wellness 510, LLC. The two physical therapists currently work together as co-owners of “The Well” (aptly named by their patients) and at Navarro College, where they developed the physical therapist assistant program in 2013 and continue to serve as the program director and coordinator for clinical education. Among their clinical accolades, both Sarah and Lisa have received their Master Dry Needling certification, Pelvic Floor Dry Needling certification and Ultrasound Guided Dry Needling certifications.
Because of the overwhelming need for pelvic floor treatment in the communities they serve, the pair has continually acted on a common passion for additional focus on pelvic floor dysfunction and treatment.
