Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis - Level A

The Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis is a modern system of pulse diagnosis, integrating traditional and modern aspects. If applied correctly, it reveals a multitude of important information about the patient which in turn enhances the understanding of the pathology and thereby improves the treatment. Furthermore, this method has proven to be highly effective in truly developing and enhancing one’s palpation skills.  

Over the course of many years of study and teaching, the seminar material has been developed and refined to meet modern standards of teaching such a challenging topic.

About this course

The Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis is a modern system of pulse diagnosis, integrating traditional and modern aspects. If applied correctly, it reveals a multitude of important information about the patient which in turn enhances the understanding of the pathology and thereby improves the treatment. Furthermore, this method has proven to be highly effective in truly developing and enhancing one’s palpation skills.  

 

The limited number of participants (maximum 10) ensures an optimal individual learning environment. The participants work in rotating and changing pairs with one palpating the pulse of the other with repeated feedback from the instructor. Over the course of many years of study and teaching, the seminar material has been developed and refined to meet modern standards of teaching such a challenging topic.

Level A (3 Days)

Focus: 

  • Introduction to the Shen-Hammer Pulse System 

  • Palpating the Entire Pulse and the Three Depths 

  • Hands-on partner exercises with continuous Feedback 

  • Identification of the most common Shen-Hammer pulse qualities 

  • On day 2 or 3, the seminar participants have a chance to act as volunteers themselves. The instructor palpate the pulse of the volunteers and write down the findings. The findings are made available to the participants who have a chance to feel the pulse right afterwards while receiving constant hands-on feedback. This enables the seminar participant to sharpen and deepen their palpation skills under constant supervision while working with patients right away. 

  • Interpretation of the pulse qualities – also in the context of a patient’s history, discussion of their clinical relevance, differential diagnosis and clinical application. 

 

Level B and Level C will become available later.
