Level 1 complete ✅

This weekend, our students had the opportunity to complete Dry Needling Level 1. Through hands-on practice and focused learning, they developed foundational techniques, safety awareness, and confidence in application.

From first insertions to refining their precision, it was great to see their growth!

A big thank you to for providing expert instruction and an engaging learning experience!

2025-2026 TIPS Trainee
Becca Waligurski - Physical Therapy

WHY TIPS
I wanted to gain more experience in the pediatric realm & expand my skills to be a better future clinician. I also wanted to learn more about neurodiverse populations & how to be an advocate for my future patients.

FAV MEMORY
I would say engaging with the cohort & faculty in TIPS. It’s not one specific moment, but it’s been amazing to meet so many people with variety of experience & who have a great sense of humor too!

FUTURE PLANS
My future career plans are to work as a neuro and/or pediatric PT in the St. Louis area after my schooling is done!

TAKEAWAY
The main thing I will take away is that to advocate for others you have to engage & listen to the people you’re advocating for.
