NRT Home Study

Neuro-Release Treatment: Using the 720 Integrative Approach (NRT) - Online Home Study Course

The NRT online home study course utilizes the IDN neurologic model of a local, segmental, and systemic treatment approach.

The NRT online home study course utilizes the IDN neurologic model of a local, segmental, and systemic treatment approach. This course is designed to provide participants with a deeper understanding of how to improve movement and human performance through various manual therapy tools. The therapeutic effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM), Percussion /Vibration Massage, and Cupping on musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and radiculopathic pain syndromes will be discussed and clearly demonstrated. The negative effects that peripheral nerve inflammation has on muscle function and how IASTM, Percussion/Vibration Massage, and Cupping can assist in maximizing human (athletic) performance is explained. NRT is taught with a patient centered manual therapy approach that encompasses the emotional, physical, and neurologic aspects of treating pain and movement dysfunction. [Prerequisite-None]  

Length: 12 hours

MSKUS Home Study

MSK Ultrasound Online Home Study Course

The MSK US home study course presents the material that is required to develop the knowledge and expertise of musculoskeletal sonography of the upper and lower extremity joints and soft tissue.

The MSK US home study course presents the material that is required to develop the knowledge and expertise of musculoskeletal sonography of the upper and lower extremity joints and soft tissue . This comprehensive course presents didactic information including musculoskeletal anatomy with easily understood segues into sonoanatomy. The course videos include multi-camera angle demonstrations of all scanning protocols with narration of each individual image. Fundamental mechanics of musculoskeletal sonography, which include standardized patient position, probe position, and standardized landmarks are covered in detail. There is a strong emphasis on understanding normal musculoskeletal sonoanatomy. A broad understanding of normal sonoanatomy and standardized musculoskeletal scanning protocols yields a skill set which provides 1. Efficient and accurate musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations, Standardized landmarks allows reproducible and reliable images and 3. Enables accurate detection of pathology. [Prerequisite-None]  

Length: 13.5 hours total (Upper extremity course 6.5 hrs/Lower extremity course 7/hrs)

Cranio Cervical Home Study

Cranio-Cervical - Online Home Study Course

Neurologic Dry Needling for Cranio-Cervical Pain & Dysfunction is an advanced level training program designed for clinicians that have prior dry needling training and clinical experience.

Neurologic Dry Needling for Cranio-Cervical Pain & Dysfunction is an advanced level training program designed for clinicians that have prior dry needling training and clinical experience.  This course will develop the knowledge and clinical skills required to safely and effectively diagnose and treat painful neuromuscular conditions in the cranial, facial and cervical regions.  Details of the musculoskeletal and neuroanatomical relationships, both peripheral and central, that exist between the regions will be discussed.  The role of inflammation (neurogenic) in the production of pain and dysfunction is described. Peri-neural needling techniques for both peripheral and cranial nerves is explained and practiced. 

Diagnostic Ultrasound & Percutaneous Tenotomy Home Study Course

Diagnostic Ultrasound & Percutaneous Tenotomy Home Study gives clinicians practical training in musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and guided dry needling techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

This comprehensive 3.0 CEU online course, led by ultrasound educator Glenn Flaming, delivers a practical and accessible introduction to diagnostic ultrasound with dry needling. Designed for clinicians looking to integrate imaging into their practice, the course covers everything from ultrasound physics and probe handling to real-time diagnostics, image interpretation, and guided interventions like percutaneous dry needling for tendon regeneration. Through clear video modules, clinical case studies, and real-world application tips, learners will gain a solid foundation in musculoskeletal ultrasound, with a focus on movement-based assessment and consistent imaging technique. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen your skills, this course provides the tools to confidently bring ultrasound into your clinical workflow.

Neurologic Dry Needling for Athletes Home Study Course

Neurologic Dry Needling for Athletes Home Study trains clinicians to integrate inflammation science, neurophysiology, and targeted dry needling strategies to optimize recovery, prevent overtraining injuries, and enhance performance in active populations.

Dry Needling for Athletes and Active Adults is an immersive 4.0 CEU online course designed for clinicians who treat high-performing and active populations. Led by Dr. Nick Sanders the course bridges the gap between neurophysiology and applied sports rehab, offering a deep dive into how systemic stress, neuroinflammation, and central sensitization impact movement quality, pain perception, and injury recovery. Across targeted modules, participants will explore the cellular mechanisms of dry needling—including ATP release, glial cell signaling, and mast cell modulation—alongside layered intervention strategies involving needling, cupping, and vibration. The course introduces a practical Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) framework to personalize treatment intensity and dosage, and walks through real-world protocols for conditions like DOMS, swelling, tendinopathy, and pediatric musculoskeletal issues. With a strong focus on evidence-based strategies and athlete-specific adaptations, this course equips rehab professionals with the tools to deliver smarter, more targeted outcomes

Clinical Integration of Neurologic Dry Needling Home Study Course

Clinical Integration of Neurologic Dry Needling Home Study provides clinicians with advanced training in using dry needling to modulate inflammation, enhance tissue healing, and manage complex pain conditions through evidence-based, integrative approaches.

Advanced Dry Needling, Inflammation, and Clinical Reasoning is a comprehensive 5.0 CEU online course led by Mark Hernandez PT, designed for clinicians seeking a deeper understanding of dry needling within the context of inflammation science and complex patient care. Delivered through segmented video modules, the course integrates current neurobiology, immunology, and biomechanics to elevate clinical reasoning and treatment precision. Participants explore immune cell behavior (e.g., mast cells, microglia, cytokines), dry needling’s segmental and systemic effects, and its role in modulating both acute and chronic inflammatory responses. The course features real-world clinical applications including swelling protocols, tendon regeneration strategies, and fascial or nerve-related pain syndromes. Through case-based teaching—spanning conditions like CRPS, scoliosis, and cancer recovery—clinicians learn to apply integrative dry needling in complex presentations. The course closes with advanced insights into lymphatic function, extracellular matrix dynamics, and the long-term remodeling of connective tissue.

Clinical Implications/Persistent Pain home Study Course

Clinical Implications/Persistent Pain Home Study trains clinicians to integrate contemporary pain science with neurologic dry needling strategies for more effective management of chronic and systemic pain conditions.

This 4.0 CEU home study video, Clinical Implications for Applying Dry Needling to Primary and Secondary Chronic Pain Classifications, led by Dave Griswold DPT, delivers an in-depth exploration of mechanism-based dry needling for chronic pain. Delivered through an online LMS with segmented video chapters, the course guides clinicians through current pain science—including peripheral and central sensitization, IASP classifications, and clinical screening tools—and connects these concepts to real-world treatment strategies. Dr. Griswold blends theory and application with instructor-led breakdowns, case studies, and practical frameworks designed to enhance clinical reasoning and elevate dry needling outcomes in chronic pain populations.
