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. It offers clients an almost pain-free form of acupuncture that has many nurturing effects which enables it to give a multitude of side benefits that are more far reaching than regular acupuncture. It allows many problems to be treated in one session without the need for complicated prescription formulation or complex diagnosis.

This webinar is designed to give you an understanding of all aspects of Abdominal Acupuncture necessary to utilize this wonderful pain - free system in your clinic. You will discover why abdominal acupuncture packs such a powerful therapeutic punch, and you will also learn a number of tried and tested methods to treat a variety of commonly seen painful conditions.

The theory is supported with real life case histories from Dave Shipsey's practice. There are also two live demonstrations which will allow you to observe the subtleties of abdominal diagnosis, point location, abdominal needle techniques and formulating abdominal prescriptions.
