What our
Students Say…

“I did my Level 1 needling course with another company, but I was so happy to make the switch to EBDN for Level 2. The instructor-to-student ratio allows for substantially more guidance and personalized technique modifications. The flow of the course was efficient but not too fast. I left the course feeling confident enough to add the new techniques to my practice the very next day.”
Ryan T.
“The Level 2 dry needling class I took from Evidenced Based Needling not only progressed my understanding and awareness of the anatomy and physiology associated with the direct needling techniques but also educated me in pre-test and post-test techniques in order to make sure the interventions worked for the individual patient and to advise future treatment. I took my level one dry needle class through a different organization and it paled in comparison to the class I took through Evidenced Based Needling . The Evidenced Based Needling class offered individualized learning with direct oversight and advisement from very knowledgeable instructors. The learning environment was constructive, fun and helped me to improve greatly as a clinician. I have and will continue to recommend Evidenced Based Needling to all clinicians interested in learning dry needling - you won’t find a better educational experience anywhere else.”

"As a new grad and new to the dry needling world, I was so grateful for EBDN! They were great about anatomy review and structures to be cautious about. The small classes allowed for individualized teaching and guidance. I couldn't have asked for a better class! Thank you EBDN!"

“Evidence-Based Dry Needling’s Level 1course was a great experience. Each instructor brought their own background, expertise, and skill to the table, giving us great clinical pearls to improve our treatment. The provided course manual is well thought-out and serves as a helpful reference outside of the class. The low ratio of students to instructors made it easy to find one-on-one help, leaving me confident in my Level I needling following the weekend.”
Michael S.
"I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Dr Fox for her course on Evidence Based Dry Needling Level 1. As a pediatric physical therapist who has been practicing for 18 years, COVID-19 really did a number on my private practice. The vastness of amazing opportunities within the profession of physical therapy continues to inspire me and a colleague encouraged me to reach out for EBDN Level 1 training. I signed up and jumped into this new training a bit nervous. The time Dr Fox and her team took to lean in and connect through the sign up process changed the nervousness to excitement. Excitement for learning something new, trying something new and offering another tool to my clients in the area of physical therapy treatments and overall holistic wellness. Dr Fox and her team of professionals kept the class size cozy and offered unparalleled and individualized focus with true clinical scenarios that I was able to immediately take with me into my practice. They met each of us where we were at and guided us through evidence based teachings with unparalleled efficiency and talent. I am thankful and excited for Level 2!"

“EBDN provides the best instruction and supervised dry needling courses. I have participated in level 1 and 2 courses held by other companies and left the classes feeling ill equipped and lacking confidence in my needling skills. The supervision and education provided by EBDN instructors will make you confident in your needling skills and ready to effectively treat patients Monday morning! Thank you so much!”

Evidence Based Dry Needling Level 1 Course was the absolute perfect way for me to become introduced to and competent with dry needling. The instructors were incredibly kind and dedicated to our learning, offering tools for multiple different learning styles, demonstration, direct hands-on practice and feedback, and patience. They believe in quality and safety and truly want to provide the best learning experience for their students. With a company that values keeping class sizes small and personalized to the students, I felt I was able to get in a lot of practice with individual instruction, and by the time we took the practical exam, I felt so confident. I am so grateful that I found this company and I feel ready to treat my patients with this added tool when I get back into the clinic. I cannot wait to keep practicing my new skills!
