Our 100-hour Integrative Systemic Dry
Needling course presents a modern medical modality that
is not related to Traditional Chinese acupuncture. Dry
needling has its own theoretical concepts, terminology,
needling technique and clinical application.
Our evidence-based Integrative
Systemic Dry Needling course offered mechanism –based
dry needling techniques for different types of
myofascial pain and other musculoskeletal pain.
Myofascial pain can be categorized into four types: (1)
trigger points (2) muscle spasm, (3) muscle tension, and
(4) muscle deficiency
Each type of myofascial
pain requires different dry needling techniques and
possesses its own healing pattern. We are the one and
only course that present a System to treat ALL types of
myofascial pain, not only trigger point pain.
The clinical fact and scientific research
contradict this narrow approach – to concentrate at only
one type of pain, while the others exist at the same
time and at the same body
It should be emphasized that the modern modality known as dry-needling acupuncture does not share any common foundation with traditional Chinese acupuncture

“I have attended many courses where the instructors do
not teach the practitioners what is needed for them to
practice effectively in one course. They break the
information into many courses that make it costly, time
consuming and difficult for the practitioners to attend.
Dr. Ma shared his knowledge generously in one course to
the level that I felt very comfortable using integrative
dry needling the next day for my patients.”
M.Reza Nourbakhsh PT, PhD, Professor, Department of
Physical Therapy ,GA

(5) Our Systemic
Integrative course presents an organic synthesis of
Trigger Point technique by Janet Travell (1940, 1990),
IMS technique by Dr. Gunn (1980), and Dr. Ma's Systemic
Integrative Dry Needling (2007) based on neurology,
kinesiology, cognitive natural science, and modern
scientific research, drawing heavily on leading-edge
neurological research using modern imaging techniques
(FMRI).and the new techniques and new skills from Dr Ma

(6) You’ll learn a WHOLE body treatment at once,
with all interconnecting mechanisms. As one of our

instead of being focused only on the pathology presented
in upper and lower parts.” Richard Morrisset

Tutorial: small group, close supervision
Apprentice:
you are always welcome to contact Dr. Ma when you have
questions.

It is important to remember that physical
therapists who are increasingly using dry needling -
particularly for pain management and trauma
rehabilitation
- do not claim to practice
acupuncture,
- do not use acupuncture TCM theories,
meridian acupoints and terminology,
- do not use
acupuncture diagnosis like tongue and pulse
- do not
use acupuncture needling techniques
Please,
note:
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
(TCM-style acupuncture) is based on ancient Chinese
concepts of meridian systems, such as Qi or energy
channels, and uses tongue and pulse assessments, as well
as a variety of needle manipulation techniques. Dry
Needling Techniques does not share any clinical ground
with TCM Acupuncture. |
