Foundations Course Reviews
IDN blew my other trigger point dry needling courses out of the water. Dr. Frank provides superior evidence-based knowledge with a whole-body approach and comprehensive understanding of the body. IDN helps bridge ortho, neuro and manual therapies for superior outcomes. I feel 100% confided with needling and whole-body integration after this course.

This course was very applicable to my clinical practice as an ATC. Teaching the systemic ideology makes it easier for the individual clinician to create appropriate plans of care for each patient.

Sonya was an excellent instructor. Very engaging, knowledgeable and attentive. I enjoyed the way this course was structured with the strong emphasis on the nervous system. I found the timing / structure of the labs to be very effective in aiding my comfort and competence with the new skill.
Very effective in aiding my comfort and competenceERIN ANDERSPON, PT
The IDN foundation course was an amazing course to get started in dry needling. I love that you leave with a foundation in the whole body and the explanation of the anatomy and neurology to see the big picture, not just learn a dry needling technique.

Advanced Course Reviews
This course is the most comprehensive and thorough course I have ever attended. The details and logic behind the neurologic dry needling makes perfect sense. I cannot wait to apply everything that I have learned over this weekend course!
Most comprehensive and thorough course I have ever attendedJAKE JONES, PT
The content and conceptual ideology and theory of IDN is exceptional. This program provides a 720-degree view of the patient involvement. The IDN approach and techniques is unrivaled by other trigger point-based theories.
IDN is exceptionalSTEPHEN WINNER, PT
I always flet as a therapist that I was missing the link somewhere. Something was not adding up. Dry Needling is the answer I was looking for! It helped me connect the dots and I have a better understanding of the system as a whole. The course was very thorough and was an amazing review on anatomy.
Better understanding of the system as a wholeMAMTA BERMEDA, OT
An amazing course! Well planned and thought out, with evidence-based research directly related to our clinical experience.
Evidence-based researchKELLY TISEVICH, PT
I appreciate that IDN is ahead of the curve in acknowledging the role of the CNS in musculoskeletal pain and not solely focusing on tissues.
IDN is ahead of the curveJOHN KRAVIC , PT
IDN teaches you not only to how to needle but how to question and clinically reason through your treatments. It’s not a cookie cutter approach of “here’s one diagnosis, this is what you do”. The course makes your think critically and work hard, but you’ll come out with many ways to not only help patients using dry needles, but how to integrate the modality into any plan of care across all the spectrums of patients.

Course was very clear and direct. All course materials were well presented with very good illustrations. Lots of research articles to go with the lecture. Learned a practical application to enforce proper technique.
Lots of research articlesDAVID MALLGRAVE, PT
The comprehensiveness and depth of the IDN courses is unmatched. Being able to walk into the clinic and having the knowledge and skills to treat patients is the best part.

Frank provided great clinical examples to help develop a deeper understanding of application. The practical application and getting greater understanding of the muscles of mastication and how they impact other body parts was very helpful.

MSK Ultrasound Course Reviews
The pre-course handout was very helpful. There was plenty of time to really dive deep into assessing and then needling. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and there was enough lab time to really practice and learn the technique.

Pelvic Course Reviews
This course was sensational - above and beyond in introducing new techiques but also in helping to put them into a greater framework of clinical critical thinking.
Greater framework of clinical critical thinkingCHRISTINA MCGEE, PT
This is a great course to bridge orthopedics and pelvic health. There are several tools (not just dry needling) to incorporate and have an immediate response on function. I also felt I received a helpful education to improve my own health.

The integrative approach makes sense. I have been to another needling course and I felt this course content was more in depth and treated the body as a whole.

NRT Course Reviews
Great interactive course to further my hands-on manual therapy skills with cupping, IASTM, and vibration/percussion from teachers who are excellent at conveying information.
Further my hands-on manual therapy skillsSTAN SOCHA, PT
I really appreciate IDN’s ability to challenge a clinician to think proximal to distal. The cupping course was a wonderful review of the nervous pathways and various treatment approaches to gain outcomes.

IDN courses are second to none in offering course material that can be immediately brought into the clinic for improved outcomes.
