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 shares his knowledge and experience related to the diagnosis and treatment of the diaphragm, a poorly understood but vitally important area of the body.

Practitioners will learn:

- The foundation of Master Nagano’s treatment methods and strategies, including the importance of prenatal qi, postnatal qi, and the concepts of flow

- The importance of the diaphragm in relation to the entire body, and how to most effectively treat the diaphragm

- How acupuncture points move and change, and how to locate them

- The ideal order of treatment, which moves from stomach qi to kidney qi to liver blood to water

- Shimamura's 'Tree of Life' model, which helps to frame Shimamura's clinical experience and explain his treatment principles
