Course Overview
Course 2 has thirty-nine videos with over 1.5 hours of education where Matt Callison visually presents MMT protocols and acupuncture to help refine the acupuncturists skills when assessing and treating Neck, Shoulder and Upper Extremity injuries.
The acupuncture aspect of this video library discusses and motor point, adjacent and distal point protocols that significantly change the muscles strength, proprioception, range of motion, muscle firing sequences and pain.
The viewer will see many examples of something that I call “Acupuncture as an Assessment”. This assessment protocol tests for muscles that are weak, with or without discomfort, that can be changed by needling one key point. This assessment protocol is a test, needle, test sequence that helps the practitioner determine key acupuncture point(s) to use during treatment.
Matt Callison has over 33+ years of experience combining MMT and acupuncture.
