I have completed 3 courses with IDN. Foundations, Advanced, and MSK Ultrasound, and I highly highly recommended all of them. If you are a provider that is able to practice dry needling, this is the program/institute to learn from. It is more than just learning to treat trigger points, but learning to treat the SYSTEM and with MSK ultrasound, I learned to identify tendinopathies and be specific with my needling treatments. Everything is backed by reputable research which is icing on the cake. Absolutely amazing with extremely knowledgeable instructors. Thank you IDN for educating us properly. Less

I had the opportunity to take the level 1 dry needling course in Indianapolis, IN. Our tutor, Stephanie Hasapis-Williamson was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The course was presented very well and has excellent applicability. Thanks to the founder, Dr.Frank and once again to our tutor Dr.Stephanie! Less

I just took the foundations course this past weekend and was highly impressed. I thought I knew what dry needling was all about, but wow is it so much more. I am so glad I chose to get instructed by IDN, because the amount of new knowledge I gained was more than I expected. Also, shoutout to all the down to earth and super compassionate instructors, thank you guys so much! I had a very fun weekend, will definitely come back for the advanced course! Less

Excellent class that will leave you confident to treat a number of complex conditions that are often missed or inadequately treated. I am excited to bring these new tools back to my practice. Immediate tools to use on Monday. Less

Excellence dry needling courses. Instructor was Stephanie, she is knowledgeable and approachable, always doing her best to answer questions and give good feedback. I was not aware of the different ideologies within dry needling, and IDNs global and local approach to treatment is excellent. Less

We searched for a Dry Needling course to host in our office. Unaware of the different methodologies of dry needling, in retrospect, we made such a fantastic decision to go with IDN. Nina and David were awesome in their teaching and the IDN model trumps all other trigger point based Dry Needling training. While that training is necessary, it's the neurology that impacts the muscle and the pain. Without addressing the neurology from a central level, you may still struggle as a clinician who practices dry needling. Bring IDN into your clinic. Less

Sonya taught the advanced course. I have had an excellent experience with Sonya. She has an amazing personality and is very knowledgeable about the course material. Her ability to provide personal experiences related to the material greatly enhanced my understanding and engagement. Overall, she has been an outstanding educator. Nina taught the foundation course and she was amazing as well. High energy and knowledgeable. Her personal experience with CNS pathologies greatly enhanced my ability to safely and effectively treat my current patients! Less

Sonya was a great instructure. Very knowledgeable and thorough with her lectures and helpful during lab practical. Created a great learning environment that helped grow my clinical knowledge and improve my cognitive approach to treatment while also providing me with a new skillet to implement in conjunction to the skills I already have. Less

Sonya is very knowledgeable and personable. This was an excellent learning experience! IDN has a very comprehensive curriculum that goes well beyond just dry needling! Less

Fabulous, in-depth, and intriguing course(s). I have not been disappointed in any of my instructors along my IDN journey, and the material and instruction style supports success as a clinician. The neural foundation allows you to customize your treatment to best meet your clients needs. If your interested in dry needling I would strongly recommend IDN. Less

I took the Foundation Course with Frank and Dave Ramsey. It was incredibly educational and fun! They both made it an enjoyable experience and I look forward to bringing this service to my patients! Less

This is a great course. If think you know it all, this course is for you. If you are experienced this will up your game. If you are just starting you will have a strong foundation. I strongly recommend this course and instructor Dr. Frank Gargano. Less

Recently completed my 2nd in person course. (I have also completed 2 online home studies) Frank and Sonya are great teachers. The course information is always enlightening but these teachers have great presentation, deep knowledge to explain and give depth and really want their students to achieve. Less

Enjoyed Foundation course with instructor Stephenie. Excellent teaching skills, awesome presentation skills, and thanks for teaching new dimensions of dry needling in order to help make a difference to client's quality of life. Less

Stephanie was an awesome instructor!! She explained the theories and techniques of dry needling in a way that was interesting, engaging, and efficient. I would not hesitate in taking another course especially if Stephanie is teaching!!! Less

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a dry needling course as I’m hesitant about dogma surrounding various techniques and certifications, but this was a really wonderful course. I feel like I’ve opened a whole new door for my clinical practice and will likely come back for other courses. Stephanie was really great. Less

This foundation course was an awesome intro to dry needling. Stephanie was the perfect amount of serious and light hearted so you were comfortable with both her knowledge and personality. So excited to take this new info and bring it back to my patients! Less

I had a wonderful educational experience with IDN. The instructors were extremely knowledgable and bring great clinical expertise to the lectures and labs. Additionally, they were compassionate and had a lot of patience for us that did not quite have the confidence in mastering this new skill. I would highly recommend this company and in particular, Sonya Worth, if you are lucky, to guide you in the world of dry needling. I'm only a few weeks out from this course and it's already making a difference with some of my patients! Less

This class was highly educational and my instructors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. This class helped me think about pain differently and how to tailor my treatments to my patients symptoms more accurately and precise. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to get into dry needling. Helping us use our critical thinking to help future patients in treatments. Less

The IDN Foundations course exceeded my expectations. I thought I was going to just learn needling, and came out with that and an improved neurological view to help clients with. Sonya and Dave were both exceptional instructors. I would highly recommend IDN and look forward to taking more of their course offerings in the future. Less

I just finished taking the IDN foundation course and it was an awesome experience. My instructor Natalie was very knowledgeable and made sure every student felt comfortable and confident in their skills by the end of the weekend. I’m excited to use these skills in my practice. Would recommend IDN for any practitioner looking to further improve their skills! Less

This was an enriching experience to further my clinical practice. For athletic trainers, I firmly believe this class and skill is vital for our patients and for the advancement of athletic training in the health care profession. I’m grateful for the new colleagues and for our instructor, Natalie, who all brought in beautiful experiences of helping people and an overall collective purpose to better ourselves for our patients. Less

Thank you IDN and Dr. Natalie Hawkins for helping me overcome my apprehension for dry needling and boosting my practice to the next level. Thanks for helping me get to the point and not miss the system! Oh and Frank…Natalie is awesome! Less

Natalie is the best! Very easy to follow her explanations and her demonstrations. I feel very comfortable going to the clinic on Monday and starting to dry needle. Less

The course is really valuable! I really like the flow, it starts with safety and dry needling mechanisms (including Estim) and then going to the anatomy, also using Complete Anatomy for the view, then going into how to needling each site step by step. I like the concept of the neurological drying needling and how it could affect the CNS and the whole body system to achieve better results. I took flight from Maryland to Denver and won’t not regret it for a bit! Less

Completed the Foundations course Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Sports Rehabilitation. Well run course. David Griswold did a great job as the instructor. Lots of information over 3 days. Looking forward to applying the techniques to my athletes. Less

Fantastic course. Teacher was great in answering all questions and taking time with each student. She walked the room spent time with you and I felt heard any time I need help with an area of concern. Would recommend taking dry needling with IDN! Less

I cannot wait to schedule our next course at @udmsportsmedicine @detroittitans. The best experience personally and professionally as a health care profession. The education, practical usage and proper usage is essential for treating and managing your patient population. This practice needs more clinicians, more voices and advocates! Thank you IDN and We want Stephanie to organize future events on campus! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Less

I attended the IDN Advanced Dry Needling course hosted by Dave Griswold at Ohio State last weekend. Dave is clearly a master of his craft, and his depth of knowledge in the field is truly remarkable, making complex concepts not only understandable but also highly applicable. The course was meticulously organized and built upon the concepts learned in the Foundations course, which I had taken a few months prior. What stood out the most was how Dave made it easy to transition from the course to the clinic. The techniques and approaches he taught were practical and straightforward, allowing me to integrate them into my practice this past week. Dave's teaching style is engaging and supportive, encouraging questions and fostering a collaborative learning environment. Overall, this course exceeded my expectations, providing valuable skills that have already made a noticeable difference in my patient outcomes. I would highly recommend taking both the Foundations and Advanced courses to add dry needling to your treatment arsenal as a physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor. I'm looking forward to taking more courses with IDN in the future! Less

This was one of the most enjoyable classes that I have ever taken as a physical therapist. I learned a lot and feel very confident to go to work tomorrow and begin needling. Sonya, thank you for being a wonderful, clear, and kind instructor. Less

This DN course exceeded my expectations! Sonya was a very informative instructor. If you were unsure which course to take I highly suggest this one because of the neuro basis Less

I'm very happy I did my dry needling course through IDN. Stephanie was a fun, energetic, and very knowledgeable instructor. The course was an effective combination of lecture, demos, and lab. I was very comfortable and confident with needling various points throughout the whole body by the end of the weekend. Highly recommend IDN for any PT, OT, ATC, etc looking to add dry needling to their tool box!👍 Less

Stephanie was fantastic and did an incredible job leading the IDN foundation course! I cannot recommend this course and the IDN group highly enough. I look forward to future learning and education opportunities with IDN! Less

Stephanie is the best instructor hands down, no one else comes close. IDN is the top notch dry needling sponsor. After the course I felt prepared to put my skills to the test in the real world. This will enhance my ability as a clinician to treat patients and improve their quality of life. Less

Integrative Dry Needling (IDN) is top tier, professional education provided by expert clinicians! When I relocated to Texas from California, I knew one of the first certifications I wanted to seek would by dry needling. There were many frameworks and programs to choose from but I was recommended to IDN and the rest is history. After the initial Foundations course I was already confident and equipped to implement DN into my current practice. The Advanced course I completed just recently only enhanced my understanding of the applications of DN to the neurological framework of the human body. This course is a must-do and the clinical skills a must-have! Stephanie and Dave have been my instructors and both have been exceptional and excellent at their craft as well as in their teaching! Considering dry needling? Look no further than IDN! Less

I highly recommend IDN to any clinician looking to take not only their skill set but the way in which they understand the systemic system of each patient to another level of understanding. I had actually learned dry needling through another party before taking part in IDN. The reason I began taking the foundation course via IDN was because another experienced clinician I trusted told me about IDN and how it would expand my knowledge and improve my ability to help patients. He wasn’t wrong and that’s why I contained on with the advanced course to become CIDN. Once again, I highly recommend. Jarrod Spencer PT, DPT, OCS, CIDN, CNC Less

The IDN Foundation course gave me the knowledge and confidence to begin dry needling patents on Monday after the course. I have seen good results with the techniques. Natalie was a very knowledgeable and fun instructor! Less

IDN Foundations course was very thorough, and I left ready to start dry needling and excited to incorporate the concepts into my practice. Natalie was a good-natured instructor, who also kept us on schedule, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend. Less

IDN was an amazing course! Educational, hands on experience for any PT looking to take their evaluation, assessment and treatment skills to the next level! The instructors keep it fun as well! Less

I’ve taken their both Foundations and Advanced courses and the course layout as well as instructors Stephanie and Natalie were fantastic! I took the Chronic pain course with Dave and it really tied together clinical judgement and reasoning with practical applications. Would 100% recommend to practitioners and clinicians interesting in obtaining their dry needling certification. Less

This course exceeded my expectations. The course provides extensive training, resources, research and reference materials to ensure you can implement your skills right away confidently. Less

The IDN foundations course was awesome-- so worth my time as a busy professional and mom. It is a long three days but being able to needle from head to toe after finishing the course is definitely worth it. Natalie was very helpful as an instructor-- highly recommend! Less

This weekend course was excellent. It helps thoroughly and efficiently review and teach new concepts about the nervous system and neurophysiological changes. You learn the major needling points, alternative options for needling, major principles and most importantly the WHY behind how dry needling works from an IDN perspective. I loved the course and would highly recommend the main instructor, Dr. Griswold. Less

I’ve taken a dry needling class before, but I appreciated how this class was structured and how there was plenty of time to practice all of the techniques. You leave the class with confidence and very practical skills to take into the clinic immediately! Natalie was a fantastic instructor - plus she had a great playlist! Less

Great course in Kansas City. Natalie was a terrific instructor and was very approachable and informative. Well run course and good use of technology. Thanks so much for making a long weekend of learning so enjoyable. Less

Course instructor (David Griswold) as very knowledgeable, great instructor, and answered questions well. I like that this course allows you to learn both upper and lower extremities together and follow with an advanced course for more difficult muscle groups and nerves. Less

As a PT working primarily in Ortho, Neuro and Pelvic floor, The foundation IDN course is by far one of the most valuable courses I have taken and will use the rest of my carrier. It’s a great way to increase treatment response in patients from a local and systemic approach. Less

Fantastic course! Very informative, lots of hands-on practice, amazing instructors, and overall a great experience! You leave feeling confident in your skills and ability to perform dry needling. Highly recommend! Less

Two really excellent instructors that care about their students and their understanding of neurology, human movement and healing potential for their patients Less

I really enjoyed my experience with the IDN Foundation Course. Dave and Jess are outstanding instructors and made the course the perfect combination of fun and informative! Less

Great weekend seminar taught by Dave and Jess. It was organized in a very efficient manner and well-paced. There was a good balance of hands-on and didactic time. Highly recommend!! Less

IDN Foundations course was amazing! Very comprehensive, hands on, and practical for my work in the outpatient Physical Therapy setting. I have gained a new practice skill and feel confident and competent that I will be able to deliver the best treatment for my patients and community. I look forward to taking the advanced course and other specialty courses through IDN. Less

Excellent course for those looking to add dry needling into their practice. Integration of musculoskeletal anatomy and neurophysiology makes it very comprehensive. Less

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. Update: I took my final course with Dave (Chronic Pain) and can’t say enough good things about how the course was ran and the way he taught. He took his time explaining and provided a lot of clinical examples. 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

Integrative Dry Needling has really helped my patient care and my patients tremendously. Since I started adding IDN as pain modality, progression of care has been improved and patient satisfaction has improved. Patients come in for one and only reason is to heal their pain and improve their function. When the biggest variable has been addressed with IDN, addressing function becomes much simpler which we PTs are excel with. Thank you Stephanie Hasapis Willliamson and IDN team to educate us with this excellent, well put course certification. Highly highly recommend this Certification. 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
