Acupuncture Assists Recovery from Brain Surgery

Is it possible to teach Acupuncture by phone ?

Phone is definitely a challenging way to communicate about the practice of acupuncture.
We lose some of our most vital senses, touch, smell, vision not to mention physical awareness.

However, events of the past month have convinced me, my practitioner/students and most importantly, their patients that teaching Acupuncture via audible means such as phone and Skype has significant positive benefits.

Providing both mentor and student have sufficient common ground in their understanding, awareness and practice of Acupuncture, experience has proven to me that some outstanding outcomes are possible.

Streaming video, webinars, Skype/phone mentoring, DVD’s are all mediums that I believe can make a significant contribution to exploring Acupuncture in the 21st century.

I will continue to develop and refine my technological repertoire in an effort to fully utilize the virtual medium to promote the exploration of the clinical practice of acupuncture today.

The potential development of our skill, awareness and understanding of Traditional Acupuncture has few boundaries, 3500 years of clinical practice guarantees that the possibilities are virtually endless!

Recently I received a phone call from an ex-student/trainee who had established her own acupuncture practice several years ago.

Although she no longer practices full-time due to other priorities, she continues to keep her hand in treating friends and loved ones.As she told her story over the phone, my focus on her words became increasingly acute.

Her partner had fallen 15 metres headfirst from a friend's balcony resulting in a massive blood clot on the brain.

To rectify this life threatening condition he underwent an extremely delicate and massively invasive surgical procedure requiring the opening of a large section of his skull.

Some 6 weeks later he continues to battle incessant debilitating headaches, overwhelming fatigue, lack of appetite, constipation, insomnia amongst a myriad of other symptoms.

My colleague had been tonifying Ki.3 as a basic root treatment and was unsure about her lack of results.

As you might well imagine her partner was non-negotiable about needling anywhere near the head.

Masakazu Ikeda sensei refers to the Kidney Yin energy of the body as having a quality of contraction when tonified
This simple Acupuncture treatment that lasted no more than 10 minutes and also alleviated his constipation, stimulated his appetite, increased his energy and saw him enjoying his best sleep since incurring injury.
