2023 is flying by and, with Thanksgiving approaching in a few weeks, we embrace this opportunity to reflect on how we’ve continued to evolve and grow as a company, a profession and, most importantly, as a community vested in helping our patients live
their best lives! We are beyond grateful to our community of students and teachers who have supported us over the past 16 years and, by doing so, have continued to further our profession. Our deepest thanks to you all!
That being said, we had a spectacular turn out for Module I: The Spine, the first module in our 2023-2025 Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification (SMAC) Program, which kicked off in September in San Diego and
ended in October in New Jersey! We were so excited to see so many new faces along with so many students who have returned to this program to complete the program.
We would also like to congratulate and welcome our four newest Certified Sports
Medicine Acupuncture Specialists (C.SMA):

Classes start back up again in January 2024 with Module II: The Low Back, Hip and Groin, which you do not want to miss! We’ll start with Postural Imbalances & Acupuncture Protocols (PIAP) and Myofascial Techniques & Therapeutic Exercise! (MTTE).
These classes go beyond just learning how to treat low back and
hip pain, which are already such common reasons patients come to see us! In PIAP, you learn to examine, measure, palpate and treat postural and muscle imbalances in the low back, hip and groin, which not only helps reduce pain, but also improves circulation to innervated structures like reproductive organs and lower limbs as well as affecting the entire spine and even shoulder girdle! And, in MTTE you learn methods to reinforce these treatments, making them even more effective through the use of
key myofascial techniques, as well as home exercise prescription for the patient!
With a new revised format and two clear program tracks—In-Person and Hybrid Online/In-Person—we are anticipating this program to be the best ever! Classes are filling up so please register soon to reserve your spot.
Learn more about the 23-25 SMAC Program tracks:
- ALL IN-PERSON TRACK —12 new & improved in-person classes
- HYBRID TRACK — 10 recorded webinars and 4 live, in-person only Assessment & Treatment of Injury classes
