What an incredible honor to be in Mérida, Yucatán! 🇲🇽

Our founder, Dr. Jan Dommerholt, just returned from delivering a keynote address at the First Congress of the Mexican Association of Manual and Instrumental Physiotherapy (AMFI). He shared the stage with fellow keynote speaker and long-time colleague, Dr. Orlando Mayoral.

Jan dove deep, presenting a lecture on "New and Innovative Dry Needling Approaches" and a workshop on "Dry Needling of Controversial or Riskier Muscles.” It was a special moment, as Jan and Orlando have been collaborators for decades, having started the development of dry needling courses together. A huge thank you to AMFI for hosting this fantastic event!
