UPC accepts registered physical therapists and physicians in our courses.
Please note: course levels 1 and 2, including final exams, have to be completed before one can start using dry needling on patients.
BC registrants may apply with the CPTBC to use dry needling within their physical therapy practice if they:
- are a full registrant in BC, and;
- have at least two years of recent physical therapy practice experience (1 year is the equivalent of 1950 hours), and;
- have succesfully finished UPC's course levels one and two, including the final exams.
To register for a course, please email uplandsphysio@shaw.ca with your choice of dates - please see below.
Details about payment choices will be mailed and, after registration, you will also receive precourse materials.
