ACUSPORT EDUCATION NEWSLETTER | ISSUE 13 | APRIL 2019

Springtime is finally here and we kick it off with the debut of a new SMA Foundational class: Part II — Common Injuries to the Lower Extremities: A Myofascial Channel Sinew (Jingjin) Perspective in Portland, Oregon.

This month also marks the start of our last Module in the 2018/2019 SMAC Program in San Diego, Module IV – Neck, Shoulder and Upper Extremity Injuries! We are almost sold out of a few classes so please register as soon as possible to reserve your seat. As always, you can take individual classes in the SMAC Program at any time and do not need to attend an entire module to register!

As previously announced, registration is now open for our next 2019-2020 SMAC program on the East Coast at the Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine in Bloomfield, NJ, which will commence October 2019. Springtime is soon approaching and we have so many exciting classes coming up right around the corner!
