This course shines a light on what is happening when we needle, whether using deep or shallow techniques and why even “sham” needling seems to exert effects. Understanding what is so special about the acupoints is essential to understand how acupuncture works. 

Collating science from the inventors of acupuncture to modern researchers, the physiological mechanisms of needling are explored from all angles so that practitioners can develop a strong technique for strong treatments.

What a valuable presentation

Rated 5.0 out of 5

What a valuable presentation she gave for all of us! Like you, I deeply appreciate her sharing her work and important research with us. I LOVE that she talks about concepts to which she subscribed for years and decides based on her new discoveries, experience and expertise that she no longer agrees… and why. The authenticity she brings inspires trust in her work and in the practice in general.

Her ability to put all of this into simple language, bridging the gap to easy access for Westerners is such a needed gift.

I have been an acupuncturist for 11 years and this is the best explanation for the western customer of how and why acupuncture works that I have ever heard.

I will definitely be looking out for more courses presented by Clare. Thank you. ????
