I had a great experience at the IDN foundation course. My course was taught be Stephanie and Natalie, who were exceptional instructors. They spent time with each student to ensure they were performing skills correctly and answered all questions. I am already signed up for 2 more courses this year. Less

Just took the foundations IDN course & it was fantastic!! Stephanie and Natalie were amazing, knowledgeable and thorough! I felt very safe both performing needling and receiving needling throughout the weekend. I am eager to take the advanced course and comfortable and confident to get dry needling once I can. Less

Great course, well organized with pre course work, course work with appropriate time for lab v/s lecture. I was a novice for Dry Needling, never held a needle once came out with much more confidence with handling a needle, palpating a HNTrp points comfortably. I definitely recommend to all my friends and colleagues for its effectiveness. Less

Dry needling will help elevate my physical therapy practice and this was a phenomenal course to take in foundations. The instructors, Natalie and Stephanie, are knowledgeable, relevant, and effective at teaching the course material. Thank you, IDN, I can’t wait to take the advanced course! Less

I took the the Integrative Dry Needling for the Upper Extremity and Hand course. I am an OT with 25 + years experience in hand/orthopedics. This is by far the best course I have ever taken! I received practical training that I can use immediately along with the theories behind it. Thanks Cody and IDN for a great experience! Less

NC allowed OTs to dry needle September 2023 and when I found out, I immediately signed up for the upper extremity and hand course. Cody is absolutely fantastic, no question was a bad question and I highly recommend taking this course for OTs! Less

IDN is great if you want to take needling from just a muscular treatment to a neuromuscular and whole systems approach to needling!! Our instructor Sonya was great!! Less

Highly recommend IDN. Not only is the needling typically more comfortable compared to other needle courses, but also the application is comprehensive with the neurologic and musculoskeletal approaches. Less

Highly recommend IDN foundation and advanced courses over all other DN courses. Neurological approach, more comfortable for patients and more results! DPT from MICHIGAN Less

Just finished the Advanced IDN course and loved it! Absolutely love having all the research articles and thought provoking questions that were shared. Already back to the clinic and using the new skills. Thanks for a great weekend of learning, Frank and Stephanie! Less

Course was great. For anyone looking to get certified in Dry Needling, I highly recommend IDN. The course was comprehensive and TJ(instructor) was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, & highly skilled. I feel confident and competent following the course. Less

The IDN foundation course was excellent. Organization and delivery of material left me confident to begin integrating dry needling in my practice. Nina was a fantastic lead faculty member and her passion about the topic was evident. Less

I highly recommend the Upper Extremity & Hand dry needling course. Cody is a thorough and engaging instructor, very experienced with dry needling and able to provide valuable insights on incorporating needling into my current Occupational Therapy treatments. I feel confident about using dry needling immediately with my hand therapy patients this week. Less

David and TJ were excellent instructors for the advanced and foundation courses! Knowledgable with great patience and feedback when appropriate. Highly recommend Integrative Dry Needling for the best type of dry needling. Less

I learned a lot in the IDN foundations course and am excited to put it into my practice as a physical therapist. Nina was so knowledgeable and did a great job teaching it! Less

I really enjoyed this course! Natalie was a great instructor. She kept the lectures interesting and was always more than willing to answer any questions. Her demonstrations in lab were efficient yet fun. Overall great learning environment and would highly recommend taking one of her courses! Less

I took the IDN Specialty Course "The Advanced Clinical Integration of the Pelvis, Lumbar, Hips and Abdomen." in 2021. Having a background in Dry Needling already, I  was searching for a course that would 1. teach me needling techniques that would help patients with pelvic floor dysfunction-a demographic that in my opinion is somewhat underserved. 2. the course would equip me with techniques that could be used immediately after completion. After completing the course, the knowledge and skills that I picked up gave me significant confidence with treating the pelvic-floor dysfunction population. It is unlike any other pelvic floor dysfunction course I have taken because I am now able to attain actionable results with dry needling and a plethora of "outside-the-box" manual therapy techniques that I was unable to get before. From treatment of Urinary and Fecal incontinence, to Vaginismis, my abilities to help an entirely different category of patients makes me an immediately more valuable asset to the PT practice. I highly recommend this course taught by Mark Hernandez, as he is extremely knowledgeable, humorous, keeps things simple, has decades of independent PT clinical practice and is always reachable for consultation. Less

Sonya and Shannie provided such a fun learning environment! I gained so much knowledge from this course and have been able to safely and effectively use these skills to help my patients in a positive way. I highly recommend this course, and these instructors! Less

Extremely well done course that challenged my pursuit to better understand more invasive ways to target Neuro-musculoskeletal pathophysiology. Thanks to Sonya and IDN, I have a more advanced skill set that I’ll be able to apply first thing when I get back to clinic. Fun and interactive course that I would recommend to all who are interested in this practice. Less

Sonya Worth is amazing!! Just took her advanced needling class over the weekend in Chicago and she taught us everything we needed to know about Dry Needling. Very respectful, knowledgeable, and considerate. Highly recommend! -Adam H Less

Natalie was an awesome instructor! She’s incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about IDN. I appreciate her guidance, patience, and thorough explanations during our course in Houston, Texas. Less

The details that this course goes into far exceeds what I was expecting. I loved the way the information was given to us. This will be a great help to my practice and my patients. Less

The IDN foundation course with Dr. Natalie Hawkins was absolutely amazing. The wealth of knowledge that I gained throughout the course was outstanding. Dr. Hawkins was very interactive and energetic which made learning these skills fun and easy. I would highly recommend this course. Less

This course was awesome! Natalie was a great instructor. I would recommend to any clinician thinking of doing a dry needling course to do it through IDN. Less

Natalie was a great instructor for our foundations course. She made what can be an intimidating course be more relaxed. She was very well versed in what she is teaching. I enjoyed learning from her and recommend this company for all practitioners! Less

It was a great learning experience and environment. The instructors were very welcoming and really easy to learn from. I feel confident in the knowledge I gained and will be considering the advanced course now! Less

Excellent course. Sonya was fantastic. I learned so much and feel very comfortable in taking these skills into my practice. Shani was a great teaching assistant. As a sports medicine physician, I highly recommend IDN for anyone looking to learn dry needling. Less

This course was very educational as well as well ran. The material was well presented and relevant, as well as supported by published evidence. This is a course I recommend to anyone looking to start dry needling. Definitely will be taking the advanced course in the future. Less

Had a great weekend taking the foundations course! Sonya was an awesome instructor who was both knowledgable and fun. She made a lot of information manageable during short period of time. Will take the advanced course next year! Less

Steve Coppola is a great teacher and really explains things in a way that’s easy to follow and understand. I also appreciate the smaller class time for more one on one. Less

This course is great. Backed by research and lots of clinical anecdotal experience, as well as valuable and ample lab practice, you will finish this course feeling confident in your new skills and the capability of this profound treatment option. Nina was exceptional as an educator, and both her participation in and inclination for clinical research gives you the feeling of having one foot in the door already as you verify and consider the material for yourself. As a physical therapy student I can’t yet perform DN unrestricted on patients, but the IDN Foundation Course has given me all the confidence I need to provide accurate and effective treatment for a multitude of presentations now if practice acts allowed. I’m ready to go. Less

My instructor Sonya was very knowledgeable, provided clear and concise directions and information pertaining to the course. She was incredibly articulate and had a lovely sense of humor! Less

This was a FANTASTIC course, the applications are immediate and will be tremendously beneficial for my practice. Instructor was extremely knowledgeable and competent with all course materials. Less

Phenomenal course, felt very confident leaving the course that I could go straight to work and help patients effectively. Information is presented clearly and any questions you throw at the instructors will be clearly answered. Less

I highly recommend IDN! Stephanie was a great teacher. I was very knowledgeable and comfortable with dry needling after the foundational course. I definitely will be taking more courses. Less

I can't recommend this course enough. After a 3 day course, I feel totally prepared to needle any part of the body, and I feel confident that I can do so safely and effectively! Natalie, Nick, and Cody were wonderful instructors and gave great clinical pearls and insights throughout the course. Highly recommend to any health care provider looking to enhance their clinical tool box! Less

This course was great! I appreciated the wholistic approach and considerations of the influence of the nervous system has on patients musculoskeletal presentation. Sonya was an excellent instructor! Adding on to my review. I also took the advanced course with Dave to complete my IDN certification. He took the time to assess and check all of my techniques throughout the weekend. This really improved my confidence with needling and my techniques. I am very excited to include this style of dry needling in my practice. Great comprehensive content and was very applicable to the clinic. Highly recommend. Less

The course was excellent and went far beyond meeting my expectations as a treating PT. I feel extremely prepared to begin needling patients in the clinic this week. Sonya was amazing and approachable as an instructor. I look forward to taking advanced courses from this company. Less

This course is 100% going to change my trajectory as a Physical Therapist. I learned more about neurophysiology than I ever dreamed of. I didn’t just learn a manual technique in this course….I now better understand how pain and dysfunction operates within the neurophysiological system, how nerve tissue behaves and how we can influence it. I now have an excellent tool with Integrative Dry Needling to make immediate positive changes within this system and amplify my ability help rehabilitate my patients and friends. Big thanks to David and Frank for sharing all of their knowledge! Less

The foundations course was an excellent introduction to practicing dry needling. IDNs approach to neurological & homeostatic dry needling makes much more sense than some of the myofascial trigger point hunting that I have seen previously. The instructors were knowledgeable and able to explain and demonstrate all techniques and principles very well. While it is a long course, it is well worth it with plenty of lab practice time to hone skills and practice the IDN approach. Less

Even though it was a long weekend, this Introduction IDN course really prepared me to incorporate dry needling in my practice as well as improving my overall understanding of neuropathic and neuro muscular insults and treatments. Less

The IDN Course was great. The information presented was easy to follow and do so in a systematic way. The instructors (Dave and Frank) were knowledgeable on the topic and provided great educational insight and real life practical examples to put into practice. I would recommend this course to anyone looking at gaining introductory information on dry needling. Less

My ability to “palpate/sense” tissues at a deeper level through the training in the foundational course will give me another very valuable way to treat patients, as soon as I return from the training. Excellent lab work, following good understanding and presentation of each technique allows me to step into the clinic and help patients right away. Less

Great course that will very much help my clinical practice. I had previously taken a different DN course and this one was far superior in terms of making me feel both comfortable and more skilled at needling not just the taught points/sites but at other symptomatic points. There is a large neuro focus behind both the reason for DN from a IDN perspective and this really helps to influence this course’s framework with the homeostatic, paravertebral, symptomatic DN points. I highly recommend this course and I believe my new skills will help many of my current and future patients Less

David and Frank did a fantastic job of teaching in a manner that was very encompassing and yet still practical to the clinical setting. All of the research and materials were current and provided evidence to support the knowledge we learned. Less

The Foundations Course thru IDN is an excellent course for healthcare providers looking to establish dry needling as part of their clinical practice. Highly recommend! Less

This course was extremely effective in providing me the knowledge to begin my dry needling practice. The flow of the course was extremely smooth and provided me with the basic knowledge along with the clinic pearls to excel with my patients Less

Loved this course. Nick, Natalie, and Cody were a phenomenal team that made this long weekend fly by. I came into this definitely a little nervous and was surprised at how much fun I had. Thank you all for the wonderful experience! Less

IDN was an exceptionally positive course experience. Cody, Natalie, and Nick were very thorough, helpful, and knowledgeable when presenting and answering our many questions. Leaving the course, I felt prepared to start using what I learned right away in the clinic. Less

Dr. Stephanie Hasapis-Williamson was an excellent instructor! She presented the information clearly and was very professional, while maintaining a light atmosphere. Less

Nina Thompson, DPT did a fantastic job of providing the foundational Dry Needling course to us at LMU for us DPT students wanting to practice as DPTs with the ability to do dry needling. She was very knowledgeable over the topic and had excellent ways to apply dry needling to clinical scenarios. It went way better than expected, and would recommend taking her course or any course provided by IDN! Less

I really enjoyed this course, I felt it was well organized and that the instructor was very knowledgeable and informative. I will definitely attend more of the IDN courses. Less

Nina is an excellent instructor and is very knowledgeable with what she is teaching. I feel super confident in dry needling my patients after taking this course! Less

I have taken the foundation, the advanced, and now the cranio-cervical course!! These courses are phenomenal and have allowed me to learn more about how I can help my patients. I had Dr. Frank Gargano and he is wonderful at teaching and showing us the research and techniques. Can’t recommend this course enough! Less

I have taken 3 courses of IDN and Frank is the best. He made understanding the anatomy and neural relationship so well. I would highly recommend the course. Less

These courses are exceptional. They really cover the full spectrum of needling and all the research backing it up. Frank is concise and engaging in his teaching methods. If you are looking for a needling course, this is the one! Less

The foundations course was excellent. The IDN approach is very intuitive and as a student I appreciated the philosophy of the neuromuscular-based education model they used by teaching why, how, and where to needle. It was also very nice to have the ability to dry needling the entirety of the body after one course; most other courses require two or more courses to attain that knowledge and skillset. As with any continuing education course, they advocated for the use of their techniques and philosophical approach. However, it was clear they made a conscious effort to objectively state the limitations as well as the use of dry needling as a supplement to other forms of interventions AFTER your clinical examination. As a clinician, this helped plan how to realistically think about implementing dry needling into plans of care come Monday morning. Not all courses make that kind of effort. I fully plan on taking the Advanced Course and would highly recommend! Less

So happy I chose IDN. Excellent instructors and such in depth course material that I will immediately be able to apply in clinic on Monday. I went in to this a bit anxious and left with confidence and knowledge that I will be able to share with my patients. Thank you to Cody, Nick and Natalie! Looking forward to the advanced course! Less

The advanced course with Sonya was fantastic. Lots of information but taught in a way that felt accessible. The advanced course does a fantastic job challenging your thought process and approach for your treatments. I really enjoyed this and am excited to put it into clinical practice! Less

I just finished up the advanced course with Sonya Worth and she was excellent. A wealth of knowledge in clinical practice with both dry needling and general orthopedics. I think IDN has a great treatment model/ideology that goes beyond just poking the sore stuff and focuses on treating the whole patient. Would highly recommend! Less

IDN Advanced course with Sonya was great! She made the long days on the weekend fun, very educational. Not only do you become more proficient as a needler, but you also gain insight into how to be a better practitioner. Less

I was really impressed by Natalie’s ability to communicate and apply a great deal of material within the weekend. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we all felt confident to practice upon completion of the course. I look forward to taking the advanced course soon! Less

I attended the foundations integrative dry needling course with Nina as my instructor and would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about attending. It is worth the financial investment and even more! Nina was easy to listen to, knowledgable, and helped expand my thinking anatomically and clinically. The handouts, research to back up treatments, vocal explanations, and visual explanations with anatomical diagrams were excellent. The course was very interactive and also took a whole body approach to help clinicians to find the root cause of patient symptoms to give patients long term relief. I have already seen a huge improvement in my ability to provide patient's with the best care in my first week of returning to working with patients. Less

David G. Is highly skilled and knowledgeable in dry needling. He makes you at ease about the precautions of dry needling and does an excellent job at teaching full body neurology to make you clinically effective in integrative dry needling. Highly recommend his course. Less

Nina was super thorough in teaching this course! Looking forward applying this in my practice and will potentially take another course with them in the future. Thanks Nina! Less

This was an incredible course! The instructor (Sonya) was amazing and very knowledgeable in the subject. The course was interesting and organized very well. I can’t wait to start incorporating dry needling into my work!! Thank you! Less

Instructor incredibly knowledgeable in needling, patient evaluatio and treatment, anatomy, neuro-anatomy, and a talented communicator of material! Course very comprehensive. Boat load of needling/treatment techniques that can be used with multiple patient populations Monday AM. Less

The IDN course with Nina was fantastic! Great literature review, spinal levels / neurological review, 3D image application and live example for the best breakdown and understanding before ever setting a needle which allows for immediate application upon graduating the course. Less

I have attended a previous trigger point focused course prior and this course excelled! So incredibly beneficial to hear about treating the body as a whole as well as discussing how to utilize needling with various cases rather than simply learning only needle techniques. Nina was incredibly kind and upbeat instructor who kept the atmosphere lively and exciting. I learned so much from her reports on personally utilizing IDN in the clinic. Less

Phenomenal course. Great use of technology to assist in learning anatomy to understand safe application of dry needling. Ample amount of lab time to improve skill set. Less

The content, theories, and application of IDN’s approach are remarkable. Dr Griswold’s knowledge and passion in applying DN was well received! I look forward to pursing additional courses provided IDN to improve my clinical skills under their framework. Less

I took the Functional IDN course in September and I absolutely loved it! My instructor, Natalie, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, patient, and was attentive with every group during our lab practice. I highly recommend this course and will be taking more courses in the future! Less

The IDN Foundations course was a comprehensive education in the theory and practice of Neurological Dry Needling. I was thrilled to learn many practical applications for different clinical presentations and be able to apply them immediately with patients. I recommend this program for those who are seeking to integrate this exceptionally valuable methodology into their professional practice. Less

Excellent foundations course. The course was very well organized and the instructors were highly knowledgeable with the content. Looking forward to taking the advanced course from them in the future. Less

This IDN course has been one of the best upgrading courses I have been apart of, Ms. Sonya is An amazing Lecturer who is also very passionate about teaching. Less
