The upper quadrant muscles are often more technical and the correct identification of the anatomy and nearby structures (arteries veins nerves organs) is more critical.

Theoretical components include: clean needle technique, safety precautions, contraindications and consent, theories and science behind dry needling, the effects on the muscle, neural and fascial systems.

Practical components includes:  muscle groupings including posterior shoulder, parascapular, cervico-thoracic junction and upper thoracic, upper arm, anterior chest and shoulder girdle, upper cervical spine, TMJ and anterior neck, arm, and hand.
