Motor Point Acupuncture & Trigger Point Needling For Nerve Entrapments
28 March, 2025 - 31 March, 2025
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
If you see pain in your clinic, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to level up your orthopaedic acupuncture game.
We’ve had Rich Hazel out to teach motor point acupuncture many times over the years, and this will be the first time he’s sharing his experience and protocols for nerve entrapment conditions in depth.
These are the kind of conditions that can have us scratching our heads or our patients racing off for imaging and surgery.
Save these patients from prolonged pain and enhance your reputation for more complicated pain referrals with Rich Hazel in March 2025.
TICKET OPTIONS
For advanced returning students who have participated in at least one live event with Rich Hazel in the past, you have the option of skipping Day 1 Foundations and joining us for the rest of the days 2-4.
For all new students or those who have only learned from online recordings, Day 1 Foundations is necessary to obtain the hands on tuition needed for applying motor point acupuncture.
We will also be providing a list of muscles for participants to familiarise themselves with before the event. Being familiar with the anatomy will save you time in hands-on practical portions and allow to get more needling and treatment practice.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Rich Hazel uses a unique style of acupuncture that relies heavily on knowledge of neurology and sports medicine.

Rich has also studied Neurofunctional Acupuncture and Exstore Functional Muscle Assessment with some of the best orthopedic acupuncturists in North America and spent years studying trigger points and the treatment of myofascial pain from the works of Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. C Chan Gunn.
