We hope you are enjoying a bountiful Fall Season! School is back in session and we kicked it off with a series of newly revised classes this past month.
We just completed one of our SMA
Foundational classes in Portland, Oregon—Low Back and Leg Pain (Yao Tui Tong): An Emphasis on Sciatica & Paresthesia Pain Patterns. Later in the month, we held the first part of Module II – Low Back, Hip and Groin from our SMA Certification Program, which included cadaver, palpation and motor point location labs as well as the new class, Assessment and Treatment of Channel Sinews!
We started this month in Boulder, Colorado, for our second round of the 5-DAY CADAVER LAB FOR THE ACUPUNCTURIST led by Master Dissector Todd Garcia. Later this month, we continue with Module II of the SMAC Program in San Diego (Assessment and Treatment of Low Back, Hip and Groin Injuries and PACE II—Postural Assessment and Corrective Exercises) and then head up to Canada to launch the first of a series of SMA
Foundational classes in Vancouver, BC!
Stay tuned for alliance information between Unified Practice and AcuSport Education! Currently, there are SMA-based orthopedic exams, range of motion evaluations and motor points locations in the existing Unified Practice platform for SMA practitioners to refer to—and even more will be coming in the future!
