I suppose that less than 500 physios are using trigger point dry needling. With more than 20 000 physios in the Netherlands you may say that is not widely used, but the group of physios that use this technique is rapidly growing.

i have this "dry needling' every week. it does hurt a lot, but it really helps! i've had this therapy 4 times now (in my shoulder). my physio says it is bizzar how much tension there is in my shoulder (that's why it hurts a lot in my case). for some people it may not hurt but for me it really does. and i am not a person who have pain very fast so it does hurt. but yeah, i recommend this to everyone who has this kind of problems. it really helps!

How many physical therapist use it in the Netherlands? Is that a widely used technique there?

I know from someone who has a straight neck condition and every month he has dry needling, as far as I know he no longer has any pain or problem in his neck what so ever. He has tried many other ways like local massage but dry needling has been the best and the quickest to take spasms out. He also combined it with daily exercise.

I thought Yun tao ma in his book Biomedicine Acupuncture for sports and trauma Rehabilitation Dry needling technique states on page p 257 that no piston type movements or rotating are needed and is discouraged.. yet its obvious here that the thrusting technique from TCm is being used...

@JATenterprises I'm getting trigger point dry needling done on my leg at the moment for a sports injury. I wouldn't say that it hurts, but it's definitely an interesting sensation. It's quite a buzz once you get used to it :)

How is it that you assume that because the practitioners don't work under the titles of Acupuncturists, that they are untrained? I know for a fact that my physiotherapist is greatly trained in trigger point dry needling and she is very good at it. I also have friends that used to work in physio and remedial therapy and they are aware that such dry needling training exists. You all sound just as pretentious as I was about body piercing when I used to work in the field.
