Course Overview
Please Note: This course is presented in Japanese and is verbally translated into English, back and forth, during the presentation.
For over 50 years, Master Kiyoshi Nagano used his extraordinary palpation and pulse diagnostic skills to develop unique & ingenious acupuncture strategies. Often referred to as a trailblazer and seen as unorthodox in his theory & style, he mentored Tsuyoshi Shimamura in the last years of his life. In this program, Mr. Shimamura will share his knowledge & experience of this style that uniquely combines classical and modern insights.
This introductory course is ideal for practitioners and students (no experience necessary) who feel called to work in a gentle manner that is informed both by classical and modern sources. The value of studying with a master practitioner like Shimamura sensei is that you can leap ahead years in your development in a short time!

(1) The foundation of Master Nagano’s treatment methods and strategies: Postnatal Qi & Prenatal Qi, Concepts of flow
(2) How to use acupuncture points to diagnose and treat

(4) Enhanced understanding of how acupuncture points move/change & how to locate them
