SUMMARY:Motor Point Acupuncture: Unlock Peak Muscle Performance\, Prevent Injury\, Transform Human Movement Potential with Rich Hazel
DESCRIPTION:UNLOCK PEAK MUSCLE PERFORMANCE:\nTREAT INJURY\, PREVENT RECURRENCE\, TRANSFORM MOVEMENT POTENTIAL\nMotor Point Acupuncture is one of the most powerful yet underutilised tools available to acupuncturists working with pain\, injury\, and performance-driven patients. \nThis workshop introduces a biomechanics-informed framework for understanding and treating muscle dysfunction. Rather than viewing muscles simply as sources of pain or tightness\, participants will explore how muscles behave within larger movement systems — how they activate\, coordinate\, and transfer force throughout the body. \nThe three-day curriculum draws on the work of Dr. Vladimir Janda\, integrating his approach to movement dysfunction with the clinical precision of motor point acupuncture. Day 1 establishes the theoretical and neurophysiological foundations. Day 2 applies those principles to sports performance and common lower-limb pain syndromes. Day 3 turns to Janda’s crossed syndrome model and its application to chronic spinal pain\, headache\, and nerve entrapment conditions that are frequently encountered in general practice but rarely addressed with a clear and effective treatment strategy. \n \n\n\nWHY THIS WORKSHOP MATTERS\nMany patients present as physically active and well-conditioned\, yet continue to experience recurrent or stubborn injuries\, persistent pain\, and limited recovery. In these cases\, the issue is often not a lack of strength but impaired muscle activation\, timing\, or coordination within the kinetic chain. \nConventional assessment approaches frequently fail to identify: \n\nSubtle muscle inhibition beneath apparent strength\nCompensatory movement patterns that perpetuate injury\nInefficient force transfer between regions of the body\nThe relationship between proximal dysfunction and distal pain\n\nMotor point acupuncture\, applied with an understanding of these mechanisms\, offers a precise and evidence-informed approach to restoring efficient muscle behaviour and reducing the risk of recurrence. \n \n  \n\nWORKSHOP OUTLINE\nEach day runs from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm and combines lecture\, live demonstration\, and supervised hands-on practice. \n\n					01 Foundations of Motor Point Acupuncture and the Janda Approach\nDay 1 provides a thorough grounding in the “what” and “how” of motor point acupuncture\, and introduces the Janda approach to muscle function and movement assessment. This is a new and complete explanation of the underlying science and clinical rationale\, regardless of prior exposure to the subject. \n\nMotor Point Acupuncture Foundations\n\nWhat defines a motor point and how it differs from trigger points and channel-based needling\nThe neurophysiological basis for motor point stimulation\nLocal\, central\, and molecular effects of treatment\nCurrent research and clinical evidence in pain\, performance\, and rehabilitation\nSafety considerations\, contraindications\, and practitioner responsibility\n\n\nThe Janda Approach: Muscle Imbalance and Movement Dysfunction\n\nHow sustained muscle tone progresses into shortening\, contracture\, and dysfunction\nThe distinction between tonic (postural) and phasic muscles\, and their differing responses to overload\nHow joint irritation or overload inhibits muscle activation both peripherally and centrally\nWhy pain is often a downstream consequence rather than the primary problem\nThe concept of the kinetic chain and integrated movement systems\n\n\nMuscle Inhibition and Functional Assessment\n\nThe difference between normal protective inhibition and pathological inhibition\nWhy strength testing alone is a poor indicator of functional capacity\nClinical strategies to identify and restore effective muscle recruitment\nLinking assessment findings to motor point treatment decisions\n \n\n					02 Sports Performance\, Lower Limb Function\, and Common Pain Syndromes\nDay 2 applies the principles from Day 1 to the demands of sports performance and the treatment of lower-limb pain syndromes. This content is directly relevant to any practitioner treating physically active patients\, not only those working in elite sport. \n\nSports Performance Concepts and the Lower Kinetic Chain\n\nTriple extension and its role in running\, jumping\, and change-of-direction movements\nThe stretch-shortening cycle and rate of force development\nHow breakdowns in timing and sequencing increase load on vulnerable structures\nReducing injury risk by improving force distribution and muscular coordination\nKey motor points for speed\, power\, and injury prevention in running-based sports including football and rugby\n\n\nClinical Protocols for the Lower Limb\n\nMotor point protocols for the hip\, thigh\, and lower leg in performance and rehabilitation contexts\nTreatment of Achilles tendinopathy: relevant motor points\, load management considerations\, and clinical reasoning\nTreatment of plantar fasciitis: the relationship between posterior chain dysfunction and heel pain\nLive demonstration of motor point assessment and needling for the above conditions\n\nThis day covers a large number of important motor points\, all taught within the context of specific clinical presentations and movement demands rather than as isolated point locations. \n\n					03 Janda’s Crossed Syndromes: Spinal Pain\, Headache\, and Nerve Entrapment\n\nMorning Session\nLower Crossed Syndrome: Chronic Low Back Pain\, Sciatica\, and SI Joint Pain\nThe morning session addresses Janda’s Lower Crossed Syndrome as a clinical framework for understanding and treating chronic low back pain\, sacroiliac joint pain\, and sciatica. These are among the most common presentations in general acupuncture practice\, yet the trigger point and motor point basis for their treatment remains underutilised. \n\nThe Lower Crossed Syndrome model: which muscles become inhibited and which become overactive\, and why\nMotor point and trigger point treatment of the quadratus lumborum (3 locations)\nGluteus medius trigger point treatment across 4 clinical locations\nPiriformis and superior gemellus trigger points in the management of deep gluteal pain and sciatic nerve irritation\nThe different entrapment sites of the sciatic nerve and how to distinguish between them clinically\nSuperior Cluneal Nerve Entrapment: a commonly misdiagnosed condition that mimics sciatica\, with specific motor point and trigger point treatment\nTrigger point assessment and treatment for the sacroiliac joint — an area that is largely absent from standard acupuncture training\n\n\n  \nAfternoon Session\nUpper Crossed Syndrome: Chronic Neck Pain\, Tension Headache\, Migraine\, and Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome\nThe afternoon session applies Janda’s Upper Crossed Syndrome framework to conditions that most acupuncturists see every week in clinic. The focus is on conditions that are rarely resolved quickly with conventional acupuncture approaches — this session provides a roadmap for achieving consistent and lasting results. \n\nThe Upper Crossed Syndrome model: characteristic patterns of inhibition and overactivity in the neck\, shoulder girdle\, and thorax\nWhy conventional treatment of neck pain and headache often falls short\, and what the Upper Crossed approach addresses differently\nMotor point and trigger point treatment of the upper trapezius\nLevator scapulae: an underappreciated contributor to neck pain\, headache\, and restricted cervical rotation\nLatissimus dorsi and semispinalis capitis trigger points and their role in occipital and migraine-type headache\nNeurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: clinical recognition\, distinguishing features\, and treatment strategy\nBuilding an integrated treatment approach for chronic neck and headache patients using Janda’s model as a clinical guide\n\n\n\nLEARNING OUTCOMES\n\nApply motor point acupuncture with a clear neurophysiological and biomechanical rationale\nIdentify patterns of muscle inhibition\, compensation\, and overload using the Janda model\nTreat lower-limb pain syndromes including Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis using targeted motor point protocols\nApply Lower Crossed Syndrome principles to the assessment and treatment of chronic low back pain and sacroiliac joint pain\nIdentify and treat the different entrapment sites of the sciatic nerve\, including Superior Cluneal Nerve Entrapment\nUse the Upper Crossed Syndrome framework to address chronic neck pain\, tension headache\, migraine\, and Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome\nImprove confidence and clinical outcomes when managing complex and recurrent musculoskeletal presentations\n\n  \n \n\nPRACTICAL & CLINICAL APPLICATION\nThis is a highly practical\, hands-on workshop. \nAcross the four days\, participants will engage in: \n\nLive demonstrations of motor point acupuncture application\nSupervised hands-on practice\nClinical reasoning discussions linking assessment findings to treatment decisions\nApplication to performance enhancement\, injury prevention\, and recovery\nRather than memorising techniques\, participants will learn how to think clinically\, allowing treatments to be adapted to different sports\, presentations\, and patient needs.\n\n  \n \n\nLEARNING OUTCOMES\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand muscle dysfunction beyond trigger points and pain\nRecognise patterns of inhibition\, compensation\, and overload\nApply motor point acupuncture with greater precision and purpose\nIntegrate biomechanical and neurological reasoning into clinical practice\nImprove confidence when managing complex and recurrent musculoskeletal cases\n\n  \n\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTER\n\nDr. Rich Hazel\, DAc\nDr. Rich Hazel uses a unique style of acupuncture that relies heavily on knowledge of neurology and sports medicine. He was one of very few people to learn Motor Point Acupuncture at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York where he completed his Master of Science in Acupuncture\, Orthopedic & Sports Medicine.

DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW\n \nHIGHLIGHTS \n– Understand the pulse in ways you’ve never imagined \n– Diagnose complex patients with confidence \n– Uncover signs of past adverse events – gestational\, birth and life and their influence on present and future health \n– Discover the profound skill of Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN \n– Learn the entire Shen-Hammer pulse system and be provided with a framework for your skill to grow. \n– ​Understand the implications of alterations from a normal resting and exertion heart rate often indicate more far-reaching conditions than heat and cold. \n– Decipher psycho-emotional pulse signs to understand how to establish better connections and more effective communication with your clients.  \n– Harness the power of the pulse to refine your skill in interpreting the signs that portray your clients’ physiology. \n– Leverage this acquired knowledge and integrate it into your preferred theoretical model and existing style of practice\, be it zang/fu\, classical\, or the five-element system. \n– Feel confident in your ability to merge the information from the pulse with other diagnostic information to improve your treatment outcomes with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. \n\n					\n\nSHEN-HAMMER PULSE: FOUNDATIONS\n\nExpand your diagnostic skills learning the Shen-Hammer pulse method. This workshop will give you the comprehensive foundations needed to start woking effectively with this method in clinic. \nAfter this 4 day practical workshop\, you will be able to: \n– Palpate the 3 main Depths of the pulse and the 6 Waveforms \n– Locate the 6 Principal and 22 Complementary pulse positions \n– Identify pulse qualities according to Condition\, Volume\, Depth\, Width\, Length\, Shape\, Anomalous and Qualifying parameters \n– Take a full comprehensive pulse evaluation \n– Interpret psycho-emotional signs on the pulse \n– Interpret your findings on the pulse according to the 6 conformations and/or Zang Fu patterns \n– Integrate this and apply this information according to your style of practice \n– Understand unique concepts of this lineage: Heart Shock relating to trauma – birth\, childhood and recent; Toxicity and retained pathogens; Dr Shen’s Systems \nThere will be real life case study discussions with recommendations for patient management with acupuncture\, formula prescription\, lifestyle advice and referrals. \nAt least 50% will be hands on learning\, which is crucial for learning pulse diagnosis effectively. \nExperienced teaching assistants will support hands on experience of all students\, and there will be repeated calibration for depths throughout the class so that you leave feeling confident in your ability to palpate the pulse. \nSEE THE DETAILED COURSE SCHEDULE HERE: Foundations Course Schedule  \n\n\n\n \n\nABOUT SHEN-HAMMER PULSE LINEAGE\nThe Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis is the modern interpretation of the c.15th Century Menghe Ding Lineage method from the Shanghai region of China. Ding Jiwan (grandson of Ding Ganren of Wen Bing fame) taught this method to Dr. Shen in Shanghai and then Hong Kong during the turbulent years of 1937-1942. Dr. Shen as the sole survivor of World War 2 with knowledge of the pulse method\, fled the Communist Revolution in China for the USA. \n​Dr. Hammer\, a renowned practitioner\, first encountered Dr. Shen’s exceptional diagnostic skills in a Chinatown clinic in New York City during the early 1970s. This serendipitous meeting led to an eight-year apprenticeship for Dr. Hammer under Dr. Shen’s guidance\, and their collaboration spanned thirty years\, during which they recorded and refined the Menghe pulse method. \nThe Shen-Hammer Pulse method has evolved from Classical Chinese medicine theory. It recognizes that the range of energy transformations within a human body reflects the infinite combination of spatial and temporal energy possibilities in the macrocosm. The pulse carries information encoded within it\, representing the physiological exchanges specific to that individual organism. \nPalpating the radial artery allows us to decipher these exchanges and provides rich and extensive diagnostic information. The pulse describes the inherited life of a person\, their current state of being\, and can indicate possible health trajectories for the future. \nOnce the information encoded in the pulse is deciphered\, it guides the practitioner to skillfully implement management strategies. These strategies may include acupuncture\, Chinese herbs\, and lifestyle modifications to positively impact the physical and psycho-emotional potential of the clients.​ \nThe Shen-Hammer Pulse method is a refined and comprehensive approach to pulse diagnosis that draws upon ancient Chinese medicine theory. It allows practitioners to gain valuable insights into their clients’ health and guide them towards appropriate treatment strategies to enhance their well-being. \n             \n\n  \n\n\nABOUT DR KAREN BILTON (PhD)\nKaren started her career in healthcare as a physiotherapist. She has been practising acupuncture and Chinese medicine for 28 years and is licensed to practise in Australia and the USA. Having worked in the USA for 15 years she has been studying with Dr Leon Hammer\, MD since 1997. She completed doctoral studies evaluating the reliability of practitioners applying Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis clinically. Karen is one of a handful of people who inherited this pulse method and model of developmental psychological model directly from Dr Hammer. \nShe is co-author of a Handbook of Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis; taught Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis classes as well as presented at conferences in China\, USA\, Australia\, and New Zealand; and has published her work in peer review journals. Karen having lectured at respected institutions like Pacific College of Oriental Medicine\, New York City; the University of Technology\, Sydney; and the University of Western Sydney; is further testament to her academic excellence and contribution to Chinese medicine. \nCurrently she is in clinical practice in Sydney\, Australia\, and continues her exploration of acupuncture\, Chinese herbal medicine in relation to Daoist cosmology.  She endeavours to share her knowledge teaching classes in pulse diagnosis and the psychology of Dragon Rises\, Red Bird Flies. \n\n\n\n  \n\n					\nEVENT DETAILS\nNOTE: This event is sponsored by China Books & Chinese Medicine Education.

SUMMARY:Psycho-Emotional Distress: Circumstance or Curriculum? with Dr. Yvonne Farrell
DESCRIPTION:About this course\nSo many people are struggling with mental-health issues.  The weight of the world is heavy and life can be challenging.  Trying to find some mental-emotional equilibrium can be difficult and exhausting.  This may be part of why we so quickly rely on psychiatric medications for relief from suffering. \nPeople often feel overwhelmed\, stressed out or burdened by expectation. This emotional distress is a manifestation of the body-mind’s need for safety. We are trying to figure out how to survive the adversity of life. \nSometimes this emotional imbalance may be linked to a patient’s constitutional vulnerability. One can be genetically predisposed to anxiety or depression or one might even be carrying the unresolved trauma of previous generations. Here what we see is the struggle for meaning and purpose in life.  Existential questions like “who am i?” and “why am I here?” are keeping us up at night and leading us to loss of hope and deep despair. \nThe complete channel system has sub-systems that may be used to address both types of distress.  We need only understand these systems and recognize when they are not functioning well. \nThis 3-day course will look at the functions of both the Luo-collateral system and the 8 extraordinary Vessels.  We will explore the difference between post-natal function and pre-natal resources. Said another way\, we will begin to investigate the difference between circumstance and curriculum. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\nRecognise the clinical distinction between post-natal emotional distress (circumstance) and pre-natal constitutional vulnerability (curriculum).\nDevelop a working knowledge of the Luo-collateral system\, including points\, pathways\, fullness and emptiness patterns\, and treatment approaches.\nUnderstand the archetypal nature of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels and their role in a patient’s constitutional curriculum.\nConstruct effective Luo-collateral and 8 Extraordinary Vessel treatments suited to the presenting pattern.\nApply assessment tools — including pulse diagnosis — to differentiate appropriate treatment strategies.\nDemonstrate accurate point location and needle technique for Luo and 8EV master points through supervised group practice.\n\n\n\n\nCourse schedule\n\n\nDay 1 — Circumstance: The Luo-Collateral System – How Post-Natal Qi and Blood Manage Emotional Suffering\n\nOn day one we will focus on the points\, pathways\, functions and indications for using the Luo-collateral system.  We will discuss how the system uses blood to create latency so that we can survive stress and overcome emotional suffering. \nHour 1: Overview of the channel system – Three levels of qi · The triune brain · Latency and its costs\nHour 2: The Luo-collateral system – Nature of ying qi · Relationship between primary channels and Luos · Micro-circulation and survival · Fullness vs emptiness\nHour 3: Luo-collateral specifics – Functions & indications · Markers of Luo pathology · Vessels of change · 16 Luo-points\nHour 4: First circuit — Lung\, Large Intestine\, Stomach\, Spleen – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications\nHour 5: Second circuit — Heart\, Small Intestine\, Urinary Bladder\, Kidney – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications\nHour 6: Third circuit — Pericardium\, San Jiao\, Gall Bladder\, Liver – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications\nHour 7: Greater Luos and constitutional Luos – Greater Luos of Spleen & Stomach · Constitutional Luos of Ren & Du Mai · Points\, pathways\, functions & indications \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2 — Curriculum : The 8 Extraordinary Vessels – Pre-Natal Resources and the Archetypal Basis of Constitution\nOn day two we will take a look at the archetypal nature of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels and how this universal nature comes with the Heavenly mandate for our existence. These vessels are the root of a curriculum that attracts adversity so that we have the opportunity to learn what we came here to learn. \n\n\n\nHour 1: Overview of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels – Link between pre-natal resources & constitution · Functions & indications\nHour 2: First ancestry — Chong\, Du & Ren Mai – Pre-natal resources for life\nHour 3: Chong Mai – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications · Archetypal nature & curriculum issues\nHour 4: Du Mai & Ren Mai – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications · Archetypal nature & curriculum issues\nHour 5: The Wei Vessels — Yang Wei & Yin Wei Mai – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications · Archetypal nature & curriculum issues\nHour 6: The Qiao Vessels — Yang Qiao & Yin Qiao Mai – Points\, pathways\, functions & indications · Archetypal nature & curriculum issues\nHour 7: Dai Mai – Pre-natal and post-natal pathways · When to consolidate and when to drain · Archetypal nature & curriculum issues \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 3 — Practice – Hands-On Technqiue\, Assessment and Supervised Group Practice\nThis is a practice day for technique and assessment tools so that we can create effective Luo-collateral and 8 Extra treatments. \n\n\nMorning: Luo-collaterals — demonstration and group practice – Examination of Luo points and micro-circulation · Treatment approaches · Bleeding & blood harmonizing points · Single luo treatments · Circuit treatments · Leap Frog (Luo-Source) · Sample treatments\nAfternoon: 8 Extraordinary Vessels — demonstration and group practice – Treatment essentials · Master-couple points · Pathway points & associated points · Timing & technique · Master point location and needle technique · Pulse assessment · Sample treatments \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\nDr. Yvonne R.
