Diploma of tuina and advanced bodywork with Nick Lowe

East West College is delighted to introduce a new 12-day diploma teaching tuina and advanced bodywork techniques that can be fluidly integrated into your existing acupuncture practice.

As well as learning specific massage techniques the course also teaches a range of hands-on and interactive diagnostic skills including channel palpation, physical assessment, and advanced pulse diagnosis.

Applied Channel Theory and the channel palpation as taught by Dr Wang Ju Yi is at the heart of the treatment approach taught on this course. We will look in-depth at both the anatomy and physiology of the channel system from both a classical and modern scientific perspective.

You will significantly improve your confidence and skillset in assessing and treating musculoskeletal problems as well as learning treatment strategies for a range of internal conditions. The course will also cover advanced acupuncture needling skills for a range of points.

The treatment approach taught on this course is supported by a body of real clinical data and utilises in-clinic testing methods to help determine point selection and treatment principles.

This is a great opportunity to systematically learn a range of new clinical skills with lots of in-person practical learning days with a great group of colleagues. Join us in January for what we believe will be an enriching and informative training. With Jamie Hamilton as a guest teacher on this course, we will include teaching of advanced pulse diagnosis for the Eight Extraordinary Vessels and Luo Collaterals with the Mai Jing system (a pulse method based on the classics).
