The David G. Simons Academy, DGSA®, has been one of the pioneers in the development and promotion of Dry Needling and Manual Trigger Point Therapy since 1995. It continues to set the relevant standards on this topic. The objectives of Dry Needling and Manual Trigger Point Therapy are to resolve and enable the sustained relief of muscle pain and contraction as well as to resolve fascia adhesions, which may be contributing factors to back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, heel pain, and other musculoskeletal and myofascial pain syndromes.

With decades of clinical practice, teaching experience, and continuous scientific research, the international DGSA instructor team passes on these efficient treatment techniques to other physiotherapists and medical doctors worldwide through high-quality courses. We place emphasis on a high didactical level and profound knowledge and safety. Our courses are offered worldwide and in several languages.
