These type of classes require a more hands on approach and is best learned through in person practice.
Next Class: TBD- Myofascial Trigger Point- Advanced class*
We will explain trigger point vs. motor point and what is “dry needling” vs acupuncture. Then look at the physiological mechanisms behind trigger point acupuncture. Areas of focus will be neck, shoulders and lower back. We will also incorporate discussions of distal needling using meridian theory to enhance the efficacy of trigger point release.

3. Formulas for Sports Medicine
In Chinese Medicine, trauma and injury affects the normal circulation of the body and causes “qi and blood stasis” leading to the perception of pain. There is also the idea that cold and damp can penetrate areas of the body where the vital energy has been compromised. This can lead to arthritic pains with age that often increases with weather changes and is difficult to treat. In cases of acute trauma where ice seems indicated, use these topical formulas instead. In most cases, medical advice is to rest and elevate. By using these liniments, an injury can recover a lot sooner. The mechanism of action is reducing inflammation while dispersing congealed blood and fluids.
