SUMMARY:Dry Needling: Lower Body
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\n				\nDry Needling Certification\nLower Quadrant Dry Needling by ICE Physio brings a modern approach to dry needling education with contemporary methods and tactical e-stim applications for the lower quadrant. This weekend lab intensive course will initially focus on safe and effective dry needling technique for the thoraco-lumbar spine\, hip\, anterior and posterior thigh\, and lower leg; and then highlight strategic e-stim applications for common lower quadrant conditions. Quickly become a confident and proficient dry needling practitioner equipped with the tools\, training\, and knowledge to help your patients with everything from pain relief\, to improved function and mobility\, to athlete recovery. \n\n\n \n\nParticipants will also have access to pre-course lecture content including an introduction to dry needling\, safety standards\, current research-based rationale of therapeutic mechanisms\, and advocacy; as well as video demonstration prep materials for the lab intensive component. \nWHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2-DAY AND 3-DAY COURSE? \nDepending on your state\, you may be required to have at least 27 hours of in-person dry needling training before you are legally allowed to perform techniques in clinic. We hold the 3-day version of our course in states that have a higher contact hour requirements. You may elect to attend a 2-day course held in another state\, but you are ultimately responsible to ensure you have the mandatory minimum amount of training to use dry needling in the clinic. \n2-day courses are approved for 27 hours (Two\, nine-hour days in-person and 9 hours of online content). \n3-day courses are approved for 36 hours (Three\, nine-hour days in-person and 9 hours of online content). \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				3-Day Course Itinerary\n				\nDAY ONE \n8:00am - 8:15am Welcome \n8:15am - 8:45amIntro to DN lecture \n8:45am - 9:30amDN basics lab \n9:30am - 9:45amDN safety lecture \n9:45am - 12:00pmAnterior thigh lecture & lab \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 3:00pmAnterior hip lecture & lab \n3:00pm - 6:00pmPosterior thigh lecture & lab \n\n\nDAY TWO \n8:00am - 8:15amWelcome back!/Q&A \n8:15am - 9:15amRound robin review \n9:15am - 9:30amE-stim for pain modulation lecture \n9:30am - 11:00amLower leg: part 1 lecture & lab \n11:00am - 12:00pmLowr leg: part 2 lecture & lab \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 3:00pmLower spine lecture & lab \n3:00pm - 6:00pmPosterior hip lecture & lab \n\n\nDAY THREE \n8:00am - 8:15amWelcome back!/Q&A \n8:15am - 9:15amRound robin review \n9:15am - 10:30amFoot lecture & lab \n10:30am - 10:45amE-stim for neuromuscular changes \n10:45am - 11:30amNeuromuscular stimulation lab \n11:30am - 12:00pmCompetency check \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 3:00pmAlternative positions lab \n3:00pm - 3:15pmE-stim for fluid dynamics \n3:15pm - 4:15pmRecovery lab \n4:15pm - 6:00pmClinical chat & wrap-up \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				2-Day Course Itinerary\n				\nDAY ONE \n\n8:00am - 8:15am Welcome \n8:15am - 8:45amIntro to DN lecture \n8:45am - 9:30amDN basics lab \n9:30am - 9:45amDN safety lecture \n9:45am - 11:30amAnterior thigh lecture & lab \n\n\n11:30am - 12:00pmAnterior hip lecture \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 2:30pmAnterior hip lab \n2:30pm - 4:00pmPosterior thigh lecture & lab \n4:00pm - 6:00pmLower leg lecture & lab \n\n\n\nDAY TWO \n\n8:00am - 8:15amWelcome back!/Q&A \n8:15am - 9:15amRound robin review \n9:15am - 9:30amE-stim for pain modulation \n9:30am - 10:30amPosterior hip lecture & lab \n10:30am - 12:00pmLower spine lecture & lab \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 1:15pmE-stim for neuromuscular changes \n\n\n1:15pm - 1:45pmNeuromuscular stimulation lab \n1:45pm - 2:30pm Competency check \n2:30pm - 3:30pm Alternative positions lab \n3:30pm - 3:45pm E-stim for fluid dynamics \n3:45pm - 4:45pm Recovery lab \n4:45pm - 6:00pmClinical chat & wrap-up \n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Objectives\n				\nExamine how our updated\, research-based understanding of dry needling mechanisms fit into pathomechanistic models of function\, pain\, and rehab\nExamine research trends associated with dry needling from early use to current state\nInvestigate some of the research-based treatment effects of dry needling in the context of targeted and specific treatment intent\nIdentify contraindications and precautions along associated with dry needling for the lower quarter\nIdentify relevant lower quarter myofascial and neurovascular anatomy associated with proper and effective application of dry needling\nDiscuss minor and major adverse events associated with dry needling and strategies to manage\, mitigate\, and minimize these risks with proper dry needling technique\nDiscuss and execute clean needle handling associated with dry needling techniques\nDemonstrate safe and effective dry needling techniques to specified lower quarter anatomical tissue targets\nDemonstrate strategic and effective execution of indwelling electrical stimulation circuits for the clinical management of lower quarter conditions\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Additional Information\n				PREREQUISITES \n\nNone\n\nEDUCATION LEVEL \n\nEntry-level\n\nHOW DO I KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO DRY NEEDLE? WHAT REQUIREMENTS DOES MY STATE HAVE? \nIn the United States\, only physical therapists (PT)\, medical doctors (MD)\, doctors of osteopathy (DO)\, and chiropractic physicians (DC) are allowed to perform dry needling. The ability for these providers to perform dry needling depends entirely on state. Please read the list below and reference the map to know if you are allowed to dry needle\, and what your requirements may be. These are the requirements for physical therapists. If you are a provider from another profession\, contact your state board or association to learn more. YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE TO KNOW THE LEGALITIES SURROUNDING DRY NEEDLING IN YOUR STATE AS WELL AS THE EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO PERFORM DRY NEEDLING WITH PATIENTS. If you are unsure of your requirements or if you practice in multiple states\, contact your state association or board to clarify requirements. \nPlease note: our dry needling courses require pre-course homework & exams prior to the beginning of the first day of class. Course emails are sent 4 weeks ahead of class to give you time to complete this work. For this reason\, once you receive the course email with access to material\, a refund is no longer possible. You may transfer to another dry needling course instead. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPT Dry Needling Hours by State\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    Welcome to the PT Dry Needling Requirements Guide\n    This interactive resource helps physical therapists find out what each state requires before you can dry needle: minimum training hours\, any experience or supervised-session requirements\, and links to the licensing board where you apply. Search for your state below or click it on the map to see the details.\n    \n      Please note: This guide was created with the help of AI and may contain errors or out-of-date information. Dry needling rules change often. Always confirm the current requirements with your state's physical therapy licensing board before you begin dry needling. Last updated October 2026.\n    \n  \n\n  \n    Find a state\n    \n      \n      Clear\n    \n    \n    Pick a state to see its requirements and where to apply.\n  \n\n  \n    \n      \n      Small states:\n    \n    \n    \n    \n      Not allowed\n      Allowed:\n      No hour minimum\n      24–27 hrs\n      50–59 hrs\n      74–80 hrs\n      100+ hrs\n      No ruling yet / pending\n    \n  \n\n  \n    All\n    Has an hour minimum\n    Requires experience or supervised sessions\n    No hour minimum\n    No ruling / pending\n    Not allowed\n  \n\n  \n    \n      \n        State ↕\n        Min. hours ↕\n        Course details\n        Experience / supervised practice\n        Other notes\n        Where to apply\n      \n      \n    \n    No states match that search.\n  \n\n  \n    How to read this. "Min. hours" is the smallest amount of formal dry needling instruction the state names. Where a state splits hours (general vs. dry-needling-specific\, didactic vs. practicum)\, the total is shown and the split is in the course details. Supervised patient sessions are listed separately because they are counted in sessions\, not hours.\n    Links. Every state links to its physical therapy licensing board\, taken from the FSBPT licensing authority directory. Where the board publishes a dry needling page\, rule\, application or approved-course list\, that is linked too. Board sites move pages often\, so if a link breaks\, start from the board homepage.\n    Confidence. Each state shows whether its figure was checked against the rule or statute text\, or comes from a secondary summary. Rules change\, so confirm with the state board before relying on a number.\n    Sources: state statutes and rules for FL (§486.117 and 64B17-6.008)\, MD (COMAR 10.38.12.03)\, NJ Board of PT dry needling page\, WA HB 1039 final bill report\, IL Public Act 100-0418\, TN 1150-01-.22\, UT Code 58-24b-505 and R156-24b-505\, NV PT Board\, DE 2600-15.0\, IN Board practice ruling\, NC 21 NCAC 48C .0104\, NM 16.20.13 NMAC\, GA Board approval guide\, WY 062-7 §7-3\, LA LAC 46:LIV.311\, MS Board regulation\, AZ Board FAQ\, ID dry needling guidance (Feb 2026)\, KS K.A.R. 100-29-18\, SD ARSD 20:66:04:02\, NE 172 NAC 137-006\, DC policy statement\, VA 18VAC112-20-121\, OR HB 3824 (enrolled); plus summaries from Integrative Dry Needling\, PPHC (Jan 2026)\, Master Dry Needling and Myopain Seminars (Feb 2026).
