Course Information
Advanced Course – Lumbar Spine, Pelvis & Lower Limb
Like the advanced course for the upper body, the advanced course for the lower body requires pre-requisite introductory training to attend.
Again, the major goal is to expand on the clinical reasoning process behind the use of western acupuncture and dry needling to treat common lower body conditions. Often therapists get used to using needling ‘recipes’ in the clinical setting, however our emphasis is to teach you how to make sound clinical judgments on the needling approach that is best suited to address your clinical findings.
Again, a very practical course, we teach advanced techniques around the thoracolumbar region, pelvis and lower limbs with emphasis on safety and efficacy.
Unique to the lower limb course is the section on electroacupuncture. This is a useful adjunct to the western acupuncture paradigm and can be utilized to enhance some of the positive physiological effects that occur with needle penetration.
