Course Participants of the Dry Needling Course, Limerick, Ireland, May 2006
Dear Editor,
In May I had the privilege of attending a Myofascial Trigger Point Dry Needling course in Limerick. The course was organised by Johnson McEvoy and given by Jan Dommerholt and Christian Grobli.
This was the first course if its kind in Ireland, organised specifically for chartered physiotherapists, and the 26 of us who attended received first class lectures and experience in the technique of releasing myofascial trigger points by using dry needling … it was like finding the missing piece in my jigsaw puzzle. I have attended many courses over my years and have almost always left them with a few more tools to add to my clinical practice tool bag, but this one filled a large gap in that bag.
This is an area that we should all try and find out more about. There is a huge amount of scientific research out there to support this technique, and physiotherapists, with our advanced palpation skills, are definitely the body who should be providing this treatment.
Yours sincerely,
Theresa McGinn
