The International DN-2 course is the second course in a two-part series by Myopain Seminars, designed to attain certification as a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist – Dry Needling (CMTPT/DN) outside the United States.
Description
The International DN-2 course features an in-depth study of the hand muscles, several lower extremity and foot muscles, the craniofacial and craniomandibular muscles, the scalenes, longus colli, serratus anterior, latissimus dorsi, and pectoralis (over the trunk), rhomboid and serratus posterior superior, longissimus and iliocostalis, the abdominal muscles, the iliacus, and deep hip rotators.

The International DN-2 course is the second course in a two-part series by Myopain Seminars, designed to attain certification as a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist – Dry Needling (CMTPT/DN) outside the United States. The fourth day of this course includes a comprehensive theoretical and practical examination. To pass, students must achieve a score of 70% on a multiple-choice exam and demonstrate competency in dry needling.
The exam is based on the required textbook, with a bias toward the lectures presented throughout the courses. We recommend focusing on what is known about trigger points; the endplate dysfunction as part of the TrP pathology; what chemicals have been found in the vicinity of TrPs and what that means; active vs. latent TrPs; local twitch responses; referred pain mechanisms; the Cinderella hypothesis, etc., but also some anatomy, needle technique, precautions, and adverse events.
