We are aiming to return to conducting courses by the fall of 2022. Please feel free to reach out by email if you have any questions.
We accept registered physical therapists and physicians in our courses.
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 the three course levels, including a final exam.
An Alberta registrant can apply to use dry needlling with their physiotherapy college by sending in this form
