Additional comments
Students are required to massage and use dry needling techniques on other students and be massaged and have dry needling techniques performed on them by other students. As this forms part of the course assessment, students who are unable to give or receive massages or dry needling techniques will not be able to pass the course and therefore should not enrol.
What will I study?
