Why this training program?
Dr. Scappaticci, founder of the FIT Institute, has developed a unique, contemporary pain management approach using dry needling, called Functional Integrated Needling. The Functional Integrated Needling for Pain Management training program takes the best of various dry needling modalities and combines them with key lessons and findings derived from Dr. Scappaticci’s 20+ years of clinical experience in the management and treatment of chronic pain and sports injuries.
Participation in this training will allow health care providers, without prior needling experience, to be able to safely and confidently insert needles for management of painful MSK conditions in all regions of the body.
