This highly anticipated workshop in July with Rich Hazel and Dan Dominguez WILL SELL OUT.
LIMITED SPOTS!
This 3 day Sports Motor Point which will differ from the previous foundation courses that Rich and Dan have undertaken for us. If you’ve taken a Motor Point Acupuncture seminar with Richard, please note that the intro lecture in 2018 was very different and filled with important information that you likely haven’t learned from any other MPA seminar anywhere.
This workshop is an Australian FIRST to offer treatment protocols from Dan who is the Acupuncturist for the Buffalo Bills NFL Team, for Musculoskeletal dysfunctions and how to quickly diagnose and effectively treat in this specialty area.
Practitioners who have previously done Rich and Dan’s Motorpoint course (with proof of completion with Certificate or prior attendance) will be able to attend the 1 day Advanced- completion of fundamentals are a prerequisite to registration in the Advanced course, as needling techniques will be much more advanced.
So who is this workshop for? This workshop is for qualified practitioners who are focused on treating acute or chronic pains and who work with professional or amateur athletes that would like to increase their performance and get reliable and measurable results!
Motor Point Acupuncture is highly effective and can produce fast and lasting results in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Proper assessment for the hip and lower leg is essential when treating athletes. Poor ankle mobility, proprioception and stability impacts the entire body. Poor hip mobility and stability also impacts the entire body. Poor breathing mechanics impact the entire body.
This seminar and workshop will assume some knowledge of anatomy so that we can get further into the actions of the muscles.
In addition, we are thrilled to have Dan Dominguez teach a full day of his favorite protocols using electric stimulation acupuncture he uses in the NFL when he treats the Buffalo Bills for their have acute injuries.
