Building on concepts offered in ACU322, this class deeply explores the treatment of common musculoskeletal pathologies and introduces a template for all treatment protocols. In addition to applying motor points, students apply classical theories and points to the treatment of injuries, and practice advanced techniques such as cupping, electro-stimulation, and moxibustion. Class assignments include reports on common pathologies and in-class treatments each day.

This course has practical components that require mandatory personal protective equipment (PPE) use. Faculty and students are required to wear gloves and use additional PPE as needed and follow required hygiene, equipment and sharps management during class time.

Some exercises in this course involve physical touch. Participation is always based on informed consent; all touch is optional and consent must be clear and ongoing.
