"I have been fortunate to take both Double E dry needling courses and found them to be outstanding, as well as evidence-based in theory and application. The instructors are excellent, using teaching methodologies that include theory presentation, demonstration, lab practice, and case report problem-solving. I highly recommend these courses and instructors to any physical therapist who seeks to develop patient-centered dry needling techniques and thoughtful clinical integration."
Jeff Chandler, PT, MSPT, ART, private practice owner (North Carolina)
"Double E has put together a first class course. They provided a relaxed and very interactive environment to learn dry needling. Their hands-on approach and continual feedback was much appreciated. I'm excited to incorporate dry needling into my practice right after the second course!"
Becky Davidson, PT, OCS (North Carolina)
"I looked into several dry needling courses and am exceptionally pleased that I choose the Double E Dry Needling Courses. The Double E instructors were excellent. I deeply appreciate their obvious desire to prepare us well to take these skills back to the clinic in a competent, comprehensive, balanced, and kind manner. The courses are well-organized, comfortably paced, and allow for plenty of questions and practice. My ability to now include therapeutic dry needling for individuals with myofascial trigger points has been of great benefit to my patients. Thank you Double E!"
Eric Payne, PT, DPT, OCS, Director of Rehab at Federal Correctional Complex Butner
"I am so glad I went to Double E PT Education! Over the past ten years, I have seen the steady accumulation of research supporting dry needling. Understanding the importance of keeping my skills current with the developing evidence, I enrolled in the two Double E courses in dry needling. I found the primary instructors to be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and the organization of the course was very thoughtful and effective. Knowing that both of these instructors went out of their way to enroll in dry needling courses from other vendors and modify their instruction based on the lessons learned made me appreciate the variety of techniques they taught that much more.
This additional treatment tool has really helped improve outcomes more rapidly than when I treated soft tissue impairments with hands alone; and my hands are also thankful! I know that with such an excellent foundation, my knowledge and skills will continue to grow and so will the outcomes for my patients. I am very thankful to Double E PT Education for the opportunity they provided to change my practice for the better."

Richard Galinski, PT, MPT, OCS (North Carolina)
"This is a great dry needling course! I was initially hesitant to take an "independent course" (not from one of the big names in PT Dry Needling). Speaking to Mary Kay prior to the course put those fears to rest. Their two courses are thoughtfully put together, covering background theory, safety, and proper technique. They do a great job of teaching how dry needling can be an effective component of physical therapy clinical practice, and there is a personal touch in how they come alongside course attendees to provide one-on-one attention."
Gail Nagel, PT (North Carolina)
"The Double E Dry Needling course I attended was outstanding. The information was presented in an easy to understand, methodical, and organized manner. There was a comprehensive review of the background and research connected to dry needling as well as the clinical implications of use focused on clinical reasoning. What stood out to me most was the excellent one-on-one time available with instructors during the lab and their ability to fine tune the information in lab to meet the needs of each individual clinician. It no doubt has been one of the most valuable educational experience that I have participated in. I would highly recommend this course to anybody interested in being able to immediately integrate dry needling into their practice."
Nicole Martin, PT, DPT (North Carolina)
"As a young physical therapy clinician, I found the Double E course very informative and great introduction to the skill of trigger point dry needling. The class provided a thorough review of basic anatomy as well as a wealth of evidence for the practice. With extensive lab time and appropriate instruction regarding safe techniques, lots of hands on experience under direct supervision was acquired. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it a great foundation for an immediately applicable new manual therapy skill. I would recommend this class to any level of clinician interested in learning the basic principles and application of trigger point dry needling."
Russell T. Nelson, PT, PhD, SCS, ATC/L (Arkansas)
"The instructors made for a great learning environment. My background is in sports and I can see some really exciting possibilities because the results come so quickly."
Kelley Glen, PT, DPT (Arkansas)
"I loved Double E PT Education's dry needling course and have been able to incorporate my techniques that I learned right away. In fact, I have a great testimonial from one of our physical medicine docs here at the VA in Little Rock, Arkansas. Dr. Keplinger has expressed her great appreciation to me for relieving her back pain that she has had for many months now. She is pain free with 100% function returned!
It was the best course I have attended because of the outstanding training we all received, the one- on-one guidance during the lab training, and the wonderful interaction and feedback provided by instructors throughout the three days. Can't wait for the advanced course! I believe that this dry needling course is a great addition to the manual technique training courses that I have received and feel like I can offer more for my patients that have myofascial pain and painful trigger points that are acute and chronic."

"This opportunity came at the perfect time! Dry needling is a skilled treatment that physical therapists are now using daily in our practice for musculoskeletal injuries/muscle trigger points. If you don't have the certification, you are behind the power curve.
The course has been a vital part of my treatment plans with our military beneficiaries and I use this skill daily. The course was very professional and I felt confident to use my skills once I left. It's not often you attend a course, feel confident to use it when you get back to work, and are still using that skill 9 months later! MANY THANKS to Double E for providing this course! I look forward to the next course offered!"

"The Double E PT Education Dry Needling Course was nothing short of excellent. His course was very organized and covered everything pertinent to a beginner course. The Double E team was very knowledgeable in all the techniques and offered a lot of insight clinically. I highly recommend this course to all practicing therapists who wants to have another tool in their toolbox to help treat their patients."
Yoshi Gatewood, PT, DPT, OCS (Ft. Lewis, WA)
"Double E's dry needling course has changed my practice exponentially. I have been able to implement the techniques that I learned during the course the following work day, and since then have been noticing a significant improvement in my outcomes, patient satisfaction, and overall confidence in my practice. It has been an excellent adjunct to my manual techniques and has enabled me to provide my patients with a more holistic approach to physical therapy. I would recommend this class to any physical therapist and I am surely looking forward to the advanced course!"
Mike Myracle, PT, DPT
"A wonderful course full of evidence based/informed practices. All of the instructors made me feel confident in my skills and gave great information to improve techniques. Thank you for adding an invaluable tool to my toolbox."
Michael J. Bryant, PT (Ft. Riley, KS)
"I had the opportunity to attend a Double E Dry Needling course and they did a fantastic job. The course material was organized in a very informative, easy to follow manner. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable regarding dry needling and was able to provide great demonstrations on how to needle each muscle before he would have us practice on each other. There were plenty of assistants on hand to provide on the spot corrections and to answer questions. The Double E course was great and the instructors did a fabulous job. I would definitely attend another course conducted by Double E PT Education and would recommend their instructors to my peers."
