SPORTS MEDICINE ACUPUNCTURE CERTIFICATION (SMAC) PROGRAM SUMMER CLASSES
We will kick off the Summer with Module II: The Low, Back, Hip & Groin. In these 4-day Assessment & Treatment of Injury classes, practitioners will learn how to observe the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex as one complex and balance the relationship
between the lumbar spine, the pelvis and the hip to provide lasting relief from pain and re-injury. We will cover postural examination, orthopedic physical examinations and manual muscle testing. This class also teaches how to accurately differentiate radicular pain from referred pain and locate the fixed pain site causing the issue. Innovative treatment protocols will be introduced consisting of advanced needle and myofascial techniques to affected tissues and channels!
MODULE II DATES:
ALL SMAC CLASSES ARE IN TWO LOCATIONS—VIRGINIA & CALIFORNIA!
All live in-person courses will be offered near Mission Bay in San Diego, California, at the Marina
Village Conference Center, as well as the Virginia University of Integrative Medicine in Vienna, Virginia, just a short drive from Dulles International Airport!

**As a reminder, this will be
Matt Callison’s last SMAC Program as head instructor.
