Fantastic experience, will be returning for the advanced courses!
This is one of the best CEU courses I have taken. They integrated my strong Neuro base with patterns I had already started picking up on in the clinic, but also taught in such a way that I didn't feel overwhelmed or like I had to study in order to know what was going on the next day in class. The foundations course is well structured, and Sonya was the absolute best instructor.... More

I can't recommend this course more! I loved the full comprehensive approach to dry needling which I think is critical in how to safely treat patients. Sonya was extremely knowledgable and I appreciated how she provided clinical relevance and examples throughout the course. Not only was it extremely educational, I had a great time! I will definitely look into more of their courses for the future.... More

I was blessed to have taken the Foundations course last weekend with instructor Sonya at the helm. Talk about an amazing, revolutionary experience! It really impressed me that we went over neuroanatomy before ever picking up a needle! This really helped ease my mind, as I was a bit nervous and don’t necessarily enjoy needles.

It really impressed me that we went over neuroanatomy before ever picking up a needle! This really helped ease my mind, as I was a bit nervous and don’t necessarily enjoy needles.

I cannot recommend IDN enough for those that are interested in being trained in dry needling! Less

Highly highly highly recommend this course. I have been a PT a very long time and have taken many in person classes. I would rank this one at the very top. The content is fabulous—love the format and the treatment philosophy incorporating a neuro and systemic approach to help our patients who have pain and dysfunction. The presenter, Sonya Worth, made all the difference in helping us learn. It is obvious she has a depth of knowledge and experience to draw from. But with that background comes a rare combination — a love and ease of teaching, with being genuinely kind and understanding. Most of us expressed some level of apprehension in taking our first dry needling class, and she immediately put us all at ease so we could settle in and learn. It was a great course. I hope to take more of their offerings in the future. Absolutely top notch in every way possible. . Less
I’ve taken a dry needling course through another company, in the past. IDN is light years better.Sonya Worth was my instructor, and she truly imparted to me a conceptual understanding of IDN that will be endlessly applicable in my practice.

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!

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.... More

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 SpencerPT, DPT, OCS, CIDN, CNC Less

Patients come in for one and only reason is to heal their pain and improve their function.

Great course!! Not your typical dry needling trigger point course, it’s neurological and definitely treats the entire body.

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.

Great experience. David and Frank explained everything very well. They made me comfortable and confident as a clinician using dry needling.

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

I honestly cannot recommend these courses high enough.The courses and information that the Integrative Dry Needling Institute offers to medical professionals in the rehabilitation field are second to none. In my opinion, they are a staple to any physical therapist's repertoire and they help paint a full picture of the body through a neuromechanical lens. These instructors seamlessly integrate dry needling and manual therapy techniques into a detailed, yet comprehensive framework that allows clinicians to apply concepts rather than rigid techniques. This makes the IDN approach a more complete model than other approaches that I have seen. Combined with the most up to date research, instructors that are leading professionals in their fields, and a strong emphasis on safety and education, you will not find a better continuing education course.Special shout outs to two instructors. Dave Griswold, who taught my Foundations and Advanced Needling courses and Nick Sanders, who taught my NRT.

I took the upper extremity course after being an OT for 20 years doing upper extremity orthopedics and being a CHT for over 10 years. I learned so much but didn’t realize it would be a life changing experience for myself personally. I had breast cancer a year and a half ago with chemo/bilateral mastectomy/5 lymph nodes removed and 25 chest wall radiation sessions. Since the mastectomy and radiation I have not been able to gain full range of motion as my pectoralis was locked. My motion was functional but painful and I had accepted I would just live like that at 41 years old. After some convincing by my integrated dry needling experienced lab partner, I allowed my lateral pectoral to be needled. With 3-4 needles and 5 minutes there was instant change in my tissue softness as well as being able to externally rotate and elevate my arm. A relief of pain and motion I had not felt after living with the tightness and giving up on returning my motion. For any therapist doing oncology particularly after radiation or mastectomy I personally could not recommend this course enough. Life changing!From my own personal perspective in practice I feel confident treating cervical spine and neuropathy related to the upper extremities, as well as, soft tissue concerns like rotator cuff and lateral epicondylitis of the upper extremity. I am also excited to see how it can change the way I treat joint contracture, scarring, and arthritis. Less

Nina did a great job of thoroughly explaining difficult concepts. Kept things fun and interesting
Amazing, informative class. Sonya is a great instructor and is attentive to her students as well as the information she teaches
One of the best continuing education seminars I’ve ever taken! It was a great review of anatomy, neurology and the connections in the body.

Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation course was amazing. Stephanie is an incredible instructor, delivering great clinical examples and breaking down the basics of how this skillset can create immediate change to influence the tissue/patient outcomes. She did a great job of making a long weekend course go by quickly by keeping it fun/interactive. One of the biggest takeaways from the course was their approach with homeostatic points in the body. This concept was helpful to implement into clinical practice immediately (especially practicing in NJ where you need to complete 80 hrs of education before you can practice dry needling). IDN's philosophy and clinical approach makes it more than just a dry needling certification in the end. This practical course also delivers a holistic view and understanding how to focus on "treating the human in front of you." Less

What I really loved about IDN was how it developed my assessment skills that I use certainly for DN, but have incorporated it into my entire practice. Understanding the condition of the nervous system is the key to developing a treatment plan and getting clinical results. The IDN assess/treatment model really sets you up for success! Thank you!...

The pre course material was very helpful and I felt as though I was well equipped going into the class. Stephanie was my instructor, and she was amazing. She is so enthusiastic about PT and using DN to help patients. Her energy during the course made it so enjoyable. Stephanie was also so good about helping us to understand all concepts covered and she was happy to answer any and all of our questions. I have since been able to help a lot of patient with the skills I learned in Stephanie's class. If you are looking for a dry needling course this is the one for you. It allows you to needle, literally, from head to toe once you have completed the course. I would recommend this course, and Stephanie, to all. Thank you Stephanie and IDN crew! Less

I want to thank Frank Gargano and his team of instructors for doing such a fine and thorough job in their course presentations of Integrative Dry needling (IDN).In the many years I have practiced physical therapy, there has not been such a comprehensive approach to the treatment of pain conditions. Integrative Dry needling treats both the neurological and muscular components of injury to bring about a local and a systemic physiological change and improvement to any pain condition. IDN is able to down regulate the sympathetic nervous system more efficiently and rapidly. When coupled with manual therapy etc, I have found a profound improvement in patient symptoms and clinical outcomes.I highly recommend Integrative Dry Needling to all my colleagues. Our patients love this type of dry needling over other techniques we have used and ask for it time and again. It has also greatly contributed to our income stream as a cash pay service that truly serves our patients with long lasting healing results.- Shari Ritzmann, PT, CEO at FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers, Westminster CO.

Fast forward 14 years and many IDN courses later, I now own and run 26 physical therapy clinics. IDN has been a huge part of the hands on care that has allowed us to grow and be successful. PT Link has gained a reputation of producing results when competitors do not. I send all the PT's that I hire immediately to an IDN courses. I truely believe IDN was a huge part of myself and my company separating ourselves from our competitors and would recommend the courses to everyone. Less

Dr. Nina Kelly is a true expert at both teaching and using the material. Her mastery extends far beyond dry needling and into biomechanics, neurology, performance, and many associated clinical strategies.3.
