This is the ultimate motor point and assessment introductory course for the TCM practitioner. This webinar will provide quick results and a solid foundation for TCM practitioners who wish to expand their clinical knowledge in the musculoskeletal (MSK) arena. This course covers how to use meridian or channel-based motor points as an analgesic for pain. It provides the initial framework which will lead practitioners to be comfortable with finding and needling the most commonly used motor points found along the meridians/channels. While this is an Intro course and will be completely new to most practitioners, it will serve as a solid foundation to start using motor points in a clinically effective way. After learning the skills in this webinar, practitioners will also be ready for the more advanced concepts taught in the EXSTORE™ Orthopedic System.
