How Acupuncture Is Revolutionising the Treatment of Chronic Back Pain 10/04/2024

Opportunity to further your CPD with this 2 day course on .

Being held at in and being taught by Dr Jong Baik.

There are still a few places left to participate in this fantastic 2 day course, 18/19th May, at TAA taught by Jong Baik who studied under the originator of KHT, Dr Tae Woo Yoo.

KHT theorises that the hands reflect the anatomy and physiology of the whole body, making it a unique micros-system for acupuncture enabling it to treat many health conditions. It offers both invasive and non-invasive options for treatment enabling those who are needle phobic (not sure if that’s the right word but you get my drift!). Almost all of the traditional body acupuncture points can be found on the hand.

Within the two days you’ll learn;
* An introduction to KHT
* The history of KHT
* Possible mechanisms underlying KHT
* Introduction to the three main theories
* Precautions and Contraindication
* It also fully covers Correspondence Theory and introduces Micro Meridian Theory
* Coverage of all the MicroMeridians- Ren, Du, Lu,P,H,Li, Si, SJ, Kid, Liv, Sp, St, Bl, GB. Five element points on the meridians, death pulse and 4 pulse points.

This event also covers:
* Diagnosis in KHT
* Five Element Treatment Approach

All for the bargain price of only £140. Please get in touch personally to me on [email protected] or via messenger. Hope to see you there 😀

To attend you’ll need to be trained in acupuncture and have your own liability insurance and please remember to check prior to attendance that this therapy can be added to your policy.

Like this description here from the British Acupuncture Council of whom I am a member so thought it would be good to share 😜

If you’re considering traditional acupuncture in this new year, be sure to look for a British Acupuncture Council registered practitioner. Being on an accredited register, BAcC members are able to display the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) quality mark, a sign that they belong to a register which meets the PSA’s robust standards. https://acupuncture.org.uk/find-an-acupuncturist/

Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system used in the East for over 2,000 years. Acupuncture adopts an holistic approach to healthcare, considering the mind and body as one, and is based on the idea that a blockage or disturbance in the flow of ‘qi’ (a concept from Chinese philosophy), can cause health issues. Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) theory views pain and illness as an indication that the body is out of balance.

Sometimes, people choose acupuncture even though they have no obvious symptoms. Some choose to have regular treatment because they find it beneficial and relaxing, especially if they lead a very stressful life. Often, people turn to acupuncture to take back control of their health, whilst others want to understand their body in a deeper way, wanting to look after their body, mind and soul.

It’s is important to recognise the role that research and evidence play in acknowledging the effectiveness of acupuncture. Especially to gain a wider acceptance and appreciation within our healthcare system.

Whoop whoop another happy patient. 💪

I’ve been working as a sports massage therapist for over 20 years and I’ve never tired of the sheer joy when patients leave your clinic moving freely.

Yes I’ve been documenting my journey in acupuncture but I’ve continued to work in soft tissue throughout. I’m often asked if I’ll be quitting sports massage and my answer is no. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you, it’s my backbone and to be honest I love it. 💕
For further details about me and how I can help please visit my website at www.manyasmt.com

I spotted this earlier shared on a page and thought its best I share.
For all of you who read I just wanted to clarify that you’re better off receiving acupuncture from trained acupuncturists 👍.

Reasons being we’ve trained for 3 years to master this art. Me, I did 3 1/2 thanks to Covid.
No disrespect to my physio friends as they’re all very skilled (typically all work in elite sport)and I know they’ll agree with me if it’s acupuncture you want see an acupuncturist😉.

On top of this I am trained in 5 element acupuncture which looks to treat the root cause by correcting the internal disharmony within. When out of balance this has a knock on effect so let’s treat the cause rather than the symptoms.

Additionally, I also have over 20 years experience of working with soft tissue. Please check out my website at www.manyasmt.com where you’ll find my comprehensive skill set 🤓.
And also check out who your therapist is, where they’ve sought qualifications from and be guided my national bodies such as .
Take care of you the right way 👍

One of the questions I am frequently asked is
“What can acupuncture treat?”
Well as you can see from the photo my answer often entails. “Where shall I start!!”

Acupuncture originated in China over 2000 years ago. It has been developed, researched, tested and refined over this time into a very effective holistic treatment ..
The focus for most acupuncturists is on the patient as a whole and not just a specific illness as all symptoms are considered part of an interconnected pattern. Restoring internal balance,harmony and wellbeing helps the body to right it’s wrongs 😊

If you'd ever like to more about acupuncture this is a great site to visit.. Happy 2023, make it all about you x

You’ve done it! You’ve contacted your local practitioner for that initial appointment – what can you expect?

A BAcC acupuncturist will take your medical history, read your pulse, may examine the site of your symptoms, and may look at your tongue. Your individual treatment plan will be based on your current health and lifestyle, and your acupuncturist will decide which combination of points is right for your whole body, as well as your symptoms.
