Advanced Foundations in Acupuncture
This intensive one-day course explores the integration of acupuncture with Western medical principles, combined with contemporary Chinese theory and advanced needle techniques.
Course Content: Participants will engage in practical sessions to enhance their understanding of anatomical regions accessible by needle tips. You will learn how changes in needle angle and anatomical depth can refine your techniques and achieve specific treatment goals. The course covers stimulating ligaments, fascia, and nerves, moving beyond simple muscle insertion. Additionally, you will be introduced to a range of specialty needles used commonly overseas to enhance treatment or for specific musculoskeletal problems that benefit from a slightly different needle approach.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Master advanced needling techniques for precise anatomical targeting.
- Better understand the physiological effects of various needling depths and angles.
- Integrate advanced acupuncture methods to treat a wide range of conditions.
- Enhance your clinical reasoning with a blend of Western and modern Chinese acupuncture principles.
