Refine Your Acupuncture Diagnostic Skills: Palpation, Pulse and Needling Techniques
with Gillian Marsollier, Online Now
Course Information
Not only that but guarantee results with your patient before they even leave the treatment room?
Or, learn how to use pulse to show you your results, in real-time?
Almost everything that you need to know is written right on your patient’s body, in their voice, word choices, odour, movements, pulse and even the general energy that they hold. You skim over parts of this in college to pass those exams, but now Gillian Marsollier would like to take you on a deep dive on how to really use these skills and more… fast.
The point of this course is not to help you be a practitioner that just moves through patients quickly without taking the proper time. It is more so that you can have a multi-point diagnostic check system so that your diagnoses are much more accurate and your results are guaranteed. This process becomes so fast after a while of using these techniques, that you will find yourself diagnosing your patient (accurately) within minutes or less!
In this course, you will explore:
- Sensing – preparing yourself to sense and accurately feel the energy in the room
- Listening – for voice inflections and word choices
- Smelling – with fun challenges to help you hone this skill
- Palpation – using diagnostic points, meridian palpation and pulse to get your results
- Observation – learning what to look for on the body in order to make a rapid diagnosis
- Pulse Without A Master – yes, you can learn pulse on your own, and here is how!
- Refining Your Needling Techniques – there are so many small techniques to learn for a more powerful treatment, that gets better results. We will learn them here!
- How To Know When A Treatment Is Finished And That Results Are Happening – right in front of your eyes!
- Full Patient Demo: Putting It All Together For A Successful Treatment – full patient demo to show you how quick this method of diagnosis can be (and how deep it can go)
