About the course
Rather than memorising isolated points, you learn the structural logic behind distal needling: the 1-2-3 diagnostic method, the systems of balance and image-and-mirror mapping, combined with Master Tung’s Dao Ma point pairs, Dong Qi technique and bloodletting. The aim is a clear reduction in pain within the first session, often with six needles or fewer.
Weekend I covers pain management and local balance, weekend II internal medicine and global balance, including Master Tung’s palmar diagnosis, and weekend III advanced applications, mental health and clinical integration.
