Description

This is the combined Foundations and Advanced course recorded in 2019

Practitioners of motor point acupuncture recognise that most pain is just a symptom of dysfunctional movement patterns, or postural issues.

By finding the dysfunction and treating muscle inhibition we can restore mobility, joint range of motion, and blood circulation which will decrease pain and inflammation in a very few sessions.
