This intensive two-day, assessment-driven sports acupuncture course is designed to fundamentally change how you evaluate and treat athletic pain, dysfunction, and performance limitations. Rather than chasing symptoms or relying on static point prescriptions, this course teaches a fascial-line and movement-based clinical system that prioritizes assessment that drives treatment protocols.

Participants will learn how to identify hidden drivers of pain and injury risk using performance screens, gait analysis, and fascial bias mapping—then apply five reproducible clinical protocols for the most common upper- and lower-body sports presentations. Emphasis is placed on motor-point acupuncture, electro-acupuncture dosing, tissue response, and real-time reassessment.

Through lecture, live demonstration, hands-on practice, open lab time, and supervised live-patient treatment, practitioners will gain the confidence to assess and treat athletes with greater precision, consistency, and clinical impact.

This course is ideal for practitioners who want a clear clinical framework, improved outcomes with complex athletic cases, and a system that integrates seamlessly into high-performance, orthopedic, and sports-based practices.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Perform assessment-first evaluations using functional movement screens and gait analysis
• Identify fascial bias and directional tension prior to point selection
• Differentiate local pain from global movement and fascial drivers
• Apply five standardized, assessment-based sports acupuncture protocols
• Locate and needle motor points within relevant fascial lines
• Select appropriate electro-acupuncture parameters for stability, rehabilitation, and performance
• Reassess patients post-treatment to confirm clinical change
• Integrate a repeatable clinical decision-making system into sports and orthopedic practice
