Dry Needling Certification

About Course

AIMS Dry Needling Certification Program

2 practical days + online theory + final exam

Dry needling demands precision and confidence around vulnerable structures. This certification pairs 14 hours of online theory with two intensive practical days, taking you from surface anatomy and safety through full-body needling technique and a final examination.

What Makes This Program Unique

Full-body application — neck, chest, scapular region, lower back, limbs, hands, and feet
Beyond muscle — specialized techniques for ligaments, tendons, and periosteal picking
Small-group mentorship — direct instructor monitoring throughout every practical lab
Certified, not just attended — MCQ and practical exam, with your credentials published on the AIMS registry
Materials that stay with you — digital library released two weeks early, accessible for over six months
