Qi Gong & Movement Exercises 
Brian Lau
8:30am-9:30am
Improving Spinal Mobility and Core Activation with Qigong and Linking with Your Treatments
Qigong movements are generated from a stable and strong core, specifically involving the transverse abdominis, diaphragm, pelvic floor and deep multifidi. This maximizes spinal mobility and health and allows for proper mobility of the organs. This class looks at a foundational spinal wave pattern that is the basis for many other qigong exercises, including the Eight Pieces of Brocade that we will be practicing in the morning qigong session. This movement can also be a fantastic standalone exercise for patients. Specific acupuncture and myofascial release protocols will be discussed that can be used to improve this spinal movement and assist with patient development.
Dr. Dan Bensky
9:45am-10:45am
Engagement, Abstractions, & Conventions: The Utility of Palpation in Traditional East Asian Medicine
In this lecture, I will talk about some of the internal issues that hamper both the practices of individual practitioners of Traditional East Asian Medicine [TEAM] including abiding by conventions, making the fundamentals of the medicine abstract, and a lack of engagement with the traditions. I’ll then go into a bit of detail of how the practice of palpation can help counterbalance these issues, enabling us to pay better attention to our patients and our medicine. This will lead to improved outcomes and a more direct engagement with TEAM.
Andy Ellis
11:00am-12:00pm
Treatment of Sinew Damage with Internally and Externally Applied Chinese Herbs
This presentation will discuss the general principles used to determine the treatment principles that determine the treatment of the three stages of traumatic injury to sinews (muscles, tendons, ligaments and associated tissues). While the afternoon section will go into detail regarding the assessment and treatment of each of the three stages, the morning section will provide a general understanding and some simple treatments that can be used by folks who are not well-versed in Chinese herbology. This will include such topics as how to apply a liniment, how to apply a soft plaster and what commonly available patent formulas (tablets, capsules, tinctures, etc.) can safely be used for injuries such as sprains and contusions.
Brian Lau
1:45pm – 5:15pm
Treating the Channel Sinews with Acupuncture, Myofascial Release and Qigong: Eight Pieces Brocade

Qigong is often discussed in esoteric terminology, but understanding the anatomy, joint mechanics, and channel sinews involvement allows for a biomechanical model to be explored and assists when linking these exercises with anatomically based acupuncture and myofascial release protocols. This class will explore a qigong sequence called Eight Pieces of Brocade (the same sequence we will be practicing in the morning qigong sessions). Discussion will include the channel sinew activation and joint and organ mobilization for each movement. Relevant myofascial release and acupuncture techniques will be shown to help link these exercises with treatment. This class will include movement, so participants are encouraged to wear comfortable attire.

Niels Abele
1:45pm – 5:15pm
Acupuncture and Myofascial Connections to Pelvic Girdle Pathologies
This presentation will cover myofascial anatomy of the pelvic girdle and the relationship that the lower jiao organs play in orthopedic pain patterns such as sacroiliac joint pain, groin pain, hamstring injuries. From a TCM and osteopathic point of view, palpation assessment will be demonstrated. In addition, specific organ manipulation techniques along with acupuncture point protocols that directly affect access for greater organ manipulation and to decrease pain will be covered. Decreased organ mobility can be part of a complex fascial dysfunction that can cause chronic myofascial pain patterns.

Dr. Anthony Von der Muhll
8:30am-9:30am
Introduction to Treating Shoulder Injuries with Myofascial and Ligamentous Prolo-Acupuncture
This class provides an overview of symptoms, history, and specialized physical exams that lead directly to treatment of the shoulder with myofascial and ligamentous prolo-acupuncture. These techniques can improve outcomes for a wide range of common and significant shoulder injuries, pain and disabilities by reducing myofascial trigger points in the rotator cuff and other shoulder muscles, and re-stabilizing or mobilizing the gleno-humeral, acromio- and sterno-clavicular joints. Prepare for the afternoon hands-on workshop by reviewing methods and mechanisms of action, contraindications, cautions, safety considerations and patient education for these techniques, as well as red flags for serious joint injuries.
Dr. Rebecca Pratt
9:45am-10:45am
Fascial System Anatomy and the Continuity of Care
Anatomy means “to cut apart”. To take what is whole and reduce to pieces.  We have been investigating, documenting and teaching anatomy under this rule for 800 years. Most US health care training has their anatomy curricula grounded in an artificial view of the human form with the fascial system responsible for uniting the body largely devalued and dissected away. This farewell to fascia in the medical curriculum leaves many future US physicians forgetting the body is completely united; that no single part of the body functions independently. Some may have disregarded that before their anatomy course the interconnected body served to benefit the collective whole of the person and that alterations in any part of the system, including an individual’s mental and spiritual health, can affect the function of the body as a whole and all other parts therein. In this talk we will discuss the structure and function of fascia and some examples of abnormal structure manifesting as potential dysfunction. We will also learn how having laboratory discussions with medical students about fascia may aid in their understanding of patient well-being and what acupuncture can offer in the continuity of care.
Matt Callison
11:00am-12:00pm
Acupuncture BIG Points for Myofascial Change
This course presents acupuncture points that when treated, have consistent clinical changes in the myofascial channel(s). From 30+ years of experience, Matt Callison will discuss his “go to” points when desiring a myofascial change in a particular area, channel and/or to stimulate a particular organ. Point protocols, locations, needle techniques will be discussed.
Dr. Arya Nielsen
1:45pm –5:15pm
Gua sha and Ba guan in the Context of Pain and Inflammation: Assessment and Treatment
In Traditional East Asian medicine, pain is understood as a kind of stasis based on the ancient aphorism: ‘bu tong ze tong; tong ze bu tong’ meaning ‘no free flow, pain; free flow, no pain’. Blood stasis pain is more severe than Qi stasis pain. Blood stasis pain is fixed, persistent or recurring and can be severe. Interventions that resolve Qi stasis pain like acupuncture, massage, exercise or application of heat will exacerbate blood stasis pain. But, Gua sha or Ba guan can resolve blood stasis pain, sometimes with one application. This course will teach participants how to identify blood stasis pain, which is often accompanied by inflammation. What is the biomechanism of resolution of the pain and inflammation and how does Gua sha differ from Ba guan in terms of myofascial treatment? How can we assess immediate and significant Tongue changes treating blood stasis.
Dr. Anthony Von der Muhll
1:45pm – 5:15pm
Treating Shoulder Injuries with Myofascial and Ligamentous Prolo-Acupuncture
This demonstration presentation will present specialized physical examination and treatment of the shoulder with myofascial and ligamentous prolo-acupuncture. These techniques can improve outcomes for a wide range of common and significant shoulder injuries, pain and disabilities by reducing myofascial trigger points in the rotator cuff and other shoulder muscles, and re-stabilizing or mobilizing the gleno-humeral, acromio- and sterno-clavicular joints. We will review cautions, safety considerations when needling muscles and joints in this area.
Dr. Jaime Hampton
1:45pm –5:15pm
Painful Bladder Syndrome: A Practical Clinical Approach Using Acupuncture to the Pelvic Floor
Clinical approaches to Painful Bladder Syndrome: helping your patients to feel better.

Dr. Antonio Stecco
Acupuncture Western Medicine Fascial Manipulation
Fascial Manipulation efficacy has been demonstrated through clinical experience, as reported in this book, and by numerous scientific articles indexed in PubMed. Using a scientific logic, according to the criteria of modern medicine, the explanation of the aforementioned clinical efficacy may reside in the rich innervation of the muscular fascia that, when appropriately stimulated, can excite multiple areas of the Central Nervous System via reflex pathways. This could also explain the positive actions on internal organs and viscera that have been observed. Nevertheless, the foundations of Chinese medicine supply an ulterior fascinating explanation. This course presents both meridians and acupuncture points, along with their relative actions and indications, in a new fascia-oriented proposition. Therefore, it is a complete work that will be useful for anyone who is dedicated to fascial treatment, but also to the clinical practice of acupuncturists.
Dr. Michael Corradino
Neuropuncture- Advanced Electrical Acupuncture Neuromodulation
Neuropuncture is a complete neuroscience acupuncture system that teaches the practitioner how to neuromodulate their patient’s nervous system back into health with electrical acupuncture. During this full-day presentation, Dr. Corradino will take you down a historical road highlighting some of acupuncture’s major medical contributions since the Ling Shu and leading to the current arena of electrical acupuncture neuromodulation. Neuropuncture as a system has evolved over the years and so have its clinical techniques.  Dr. Corradino will present the Neuropuncture system and two exciting new advanced Neuropuncture neuromodulating techniques. The first is “nerve recruitment with pulse width” and the second is “the Neuropuncture Stellate ganglion neuromodulation technique” and their clinical applications. This will be an exciting, thought provoking, cerebral stimulating, and fun full-day of neuroscience acupuncture.
Dr. Ayla Wolf
The Neurology of Human Performance: Advanced Assessment Techniques
Learn to troubleshoot difficult cases and repetitive injuries through a neurological lens. This course will give you tools to assess the different internal maps of the brain and how that relates to movement, body awareness, reaction time, chronic pain and injuries. Functional examination of the sensory homunculus, motor cortex, auditory cortex, visual mapping centers, vestibular system and cerebellum will be taught and practiced, followed by a discussion of treatment strategies based upon examination findings.

Ian Armstrong
8:30am-12:00pm
Common Sinew Channel Postural Deviations of the Neck, Chest and Upper Extremity
This lecture will take a deeper look into the Sinew Channel topography of the upper extremities, their involvement in different postural deviations, and how this contributes to a variety of chronic pain and dysfunction.  Ian will also describe how these deviations effect the position of the neck ribcage and shoulder position, and how these deviations contribute to the diaphragm and breathing patterns.  After assessment of these deviations, the days presentation will go into treatment in a variety of ways:  Acupuncture, Myofascial release techniques, and home exercise prescription options.
Dr. Jenny Nieters
8:30am-12:00pm
LumboPelvic Stability (Part 1):  Core Muscles
The modern epidemic of prolonged sitting can cause patients to develop low back pain, poor posture, paradoxical breathing, anxiety, pelvic floor dysfunction, chronically tight hip flexors and hamstrings. Treatment of the diaphragm and core muscles can help provide relief from symptoms. This course will look at anatomy, assessment, and treatment of anatomically significant zones to optimize the function of the core muscles.
Joseph Bickle
8:30am-12:00pm
The Anatomy, Physiology, and Treatment of Myofascial Trigger Points
This course is designed to build a better understanding of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) and strategies for incorporating them into your treatment. It will cover the anatomy and physiology of MTrPs from both a biomedical and Chinese/East Asian medical perspective. It will also cover various aspects of pain science as it relates to treatment strategies. Lastly, we will discuss the concept of treatment dosage. This will focus primarily on needle stimulation, but cover other aspects as well, with the primary goal of formulating treatment strategies.

Dr. Jenny Nieters
1:45pm–5:15pm
LumboPelvic Stability (Part 2): Low Back and Hip
This course will identify key zones for treatment which can have an impact on the biomechanics of the whole body and provide relief for one-sided symptoms such as back pain or hip pain. Every step we take without pelvic stability puts excessive load on the joints, which can lead to injury or degeneration. This course will look at anatomy, assessment and treatment of anatomically significant zones to support lumbopelvic stability, including the gluteus medius, the quadratus lumborum and the internal abdominal obliques.  This is a common treatment in my practice for athletes looking to optimize speed and power and also frequently used in my clinical practice to support resilience and movement in all populations.
Matt Callison
1:45pm–5:15pm
Motor Entry Points for Myofascial Restrictions in Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder and more accurately termed “adhesive capsulitis” contains severe muscle imbalances and muscle guarding signs and symptoms. Specific acupuncture treatment protocols to motor entry points is a significant part of the treatment protocol for a successful rehabilitation. This demonstration workshop will go over the research, location and needle application of key muscle motor entry points affected by adhesive capsulitis. This workshop will better prepare the registrant for the all-day workshop held the next day on Monday, April 3rd.

Adhesive Capsulitis: An Acupuncturist’s Guide in Assessment and Treatment
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is an inflammatory condition characterized by loss of active and passive shoulder motion secondary to thickening and contracture of the joint capsule. The exact pathophysiology of adhesive capsulitis is unclear. The most accepted hypothesis is that inflammation initially occurs within the joint capsule followed by reactive fibrosis and adhesions of the synovial lining of the joint leading to pain and decreased range of motion. This is a “hands-on” workshop practicing acupuncture protocols and needle techniques and many assessment and mobilization techniques.
Numerous conditions can produce symptoms similar to adhesive capsulitis including rotator cuff tears, glenohumeral arthritis, crystalline arthropathy and cervical radiculopathy. However, it is important to note that although these conditions are distinct from adhesive capsulitis, they can contribute to the eventual development of adhesive capsulitis. Patients typically present in their 5th decade of life; women are more commonly affected than men and it often affects the non-dominant arm. Research indicates an association with adhesive capsulitis and disorders including diabetes mellitus, thyroid pathology, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, autoimmune disease, Dupuytren’s disease and hormonal changes in women such as menopause.
In this presentation, we will examine assessment strategies as it is integral part of diagnosing this condition and understanding the underlying contributing conditions. Treatment will involve local, adjacent, and distal point prescriptions in addition to myofascial release techniques, shoulder joint mobilizations, facilitated stretching techniques and also basic rehabilitative exercises. This presentation will provide the acupuncturist with tools to help their patients with this condition.
