Masterclass Dry-Needling – (Group 3-5 p.)
Regenerative Dry Needling™ — Part 1: Dry Needling for the Rehabilitation Professional
Fri.26th to sun.28th June, 2026 – Paris, France
Torrentia Biomedical Training · 8 hrs didactic + 21 hrs interactive lab
Total hours
29 HOURS
Format
ONLINE PRE-COURSE + 3-DAY IN-PERSON
Prerequisites

Assessment
WRITTEN + ORAL-PRACTICAL EXAM
This course explains the biochemical, biomechanical, endocrinological, and neurovascular mechanisms behind the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of both manual and electric dry needling — grounded in western medicine and human anatomy.
Students receive didactic and hands-on training in dry needling safety, technique, and dose for muscle, ligaments, tendons, fascia, scar tissue, and peri-neural tissue — then apply this knowledge to complex neuromusculoskeletal conditions of the appendicular skeleton.
Emphasis is placed on pain-related degenerative conditions (osteoarthritis, impingement, neural entrapment, tendinopathy, myopathy) and on integrating dry needling with regenerative medicine procedures including PRP, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and adipose-derived stem cells.
