Acupuncture Sports Medicine: Practical Module

This on-site seminar builds upon the three online-modules by Whitfield Reaves taking place from August 2020 to February 2021 and delivers the practical aspects based on the material discussed online. Each day is dedicated to one online-module and its specific body region.

For each body area, the anatomy, pathology and key points and techniques for common injuries is reviewed. This is then followed by live presentations and live practice of all techniques.

Whitfield Reaves will cover the precise locations of the important points and will present how to correctly needle them. Whitfield Reaves and experienced assistants ensure that participants understand, learn and practice the techniques.
