Course Overview
Abdominal acupuncture is a relatively new form of acupuncture which was developed by Prof. Bo ZhiYun over the course of approximately 20 years, it was introduced in China in 1991. It is still relatively unknown in many parts of the West and offers a comprehensive and powerful system to treat a multitude of Muscular-skeletal, painful, acute and chronic conditions (see Dave Shipsey’s book “Mastering the Art of Abdominal Acupuncture, a concise guide to treating numerous painful conditions” the only book written in English on this topic). It is a Micro-System with Mega Power, for many reasons, which will be detailed in this webinar.
Abdominal acupuncture is easy to incorporate into your practice, it is simple to learn and once the subtleties of this system are understood and refined it can be performed in a fast effective and reliable way.
