One of the amazing things about working as an acupuncturist is the opportunity for life-long learning in Chinese medicine. It is a wonderful career that keeps you stimulated and engaged, as there are always opportunities to develop deeper and deeper levels of understanding.
Root and Branch College
Tangible Training in Chinese Medicine. A three-year, degree-level course in acupuncture and Chinese medical bodywork (Tuina)

Some of the Root and Branch College teaching team: Jinal Shah, Zarig Cooper and Conny Cooper after teaching a seminar from the Tangible Acupuncture for Orthopaedic Injuries series last year. Also including Silvia Vantusso as our bodywork specialist!
It was a full weekend but also a lot of fun to teach - and the profuse positive feedback we get after our seminars always makes it worthwhile.
The full Tangible Acupuncture for Orthopaedic Injuries programme is included in the second year of our 3-year course, so our students graduate with excellent skills for the treatment of physical injuries, ready to help people live pain-free lives.

Very excited to be prepping for our open evenings - we look forward to welcoming people interested in our acupuncture and Tuina course and telling them all about it!
In-person on Thursday 9th July, online Monday 13th July, each time 6.30-8pm.
The Manual of Acupuncture by Deadman and Al-Khafaji is a core textbook that we use on our Body Locations module in year 1. It is a great resource outlining where all the key points on the body are that are relevant to health.
Manipulating Qi is not mystical or magical - it is something very tangible and very real.
On our acupuncture course, we teach our students how to tangibly manipulate Qi for a patient with a torn hamstring, IBS or anxiety - whatever their clinical complaint is.

While Yang temperatures will keep rising over the next couple of months, we have reached the Yangest point of the year it terms of light.
The seed of yin is planted and will start growing from tomorrow as the days get shorter even as the days get warmer. Full yin will kick in later in the year when the temperatures drop in Autumn/Winter.
Happy Summer solstice everyone!
