Diploma of Tuina and Advanced Bodywork in Acupuncture Practice

With Jamie Hamilton and Nick Lowe

Integrating Tuina, Palpation Skills and Advanced Bodywork into Acupuncture with Applied Channel Theory

We are delighted to introduce a new 12-day diploma based on tuina and other bodywork techniques such as shiatsu and anma skills, sotai stretching and other methods. We will learn advanced pulse diagnosis for Luo Collaterals and Eight Extraordinary Vessels with the Mai Jing system. We believe that incorporating tuina and advanced bodywork into your practice will give you additional confidence with handling the body and giving a new way of treating channels and points with pressure and stretching. Explore and treat the channels in a completely new way, both enhancing your current practice and possibly creating new lines of treatment. It is intended to be used in conjunction with and complementary to Acupuncture.  The addition of acupressure to an acupuncture treatment can provide patients with a greater sense of nurture and wellbeing.
