Foundations of Surface Anatomy for Modern Dry Needling ANIMS

The Foundations of Surface Anatomy is a hands-on surface anatomy review course designed to assist students in preparing for FHE’s Modern Dry Needling ANIMS program. It was created to provide students with a review of the anatomical structures relevant to the practice of dry needling. This one-day course focuses on the hands-on identification of bony and muscular structures to perform dry needling techniques safely and effectively. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on practice, students will develop the necessary skills to integrate surface anatomy into their dry needling education.

This course is highly recommended for any course participant that has not had a comprehensive, hands on, semester long course in surface anatomy in their physiotherapy program or has not had consistent surface anatomy review.
