Integrated Acupressure 1

Acupressure is a technique that uses pressure on specific acu-points on the body in lieu of using needles.

Integrated Acupressure, as opposed to Acupressure, has been designed to complement other modalities and integrate with other treatment protocols.

You will learn about the basic concepts of Oriental Medicine, the Ying Yang theory, acu-point symptomatology and locations, the meridians, the Chinese clock, the 5 elements and diagnosis and basic treatment protocols.

Your tutor for this 4 day course is John Kirkwood, DRM. John is a Mind-Body Acupressure Practitioner, and has been practicing 5 Element Acupressure for over 25 years.
