This two-day course is designed for practicing chartered physiotherapists who have previously undertaken a recognised acupuncture foundation course and wish to refresh their practical skills in the clinical treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants should be MCSP and HCPC registered or equivalent and have already successfully undertaken a recognised acupuncture foundation course.
Aims:
➢ To refresh the participant’s theoretical knowledge of the analgesic mechanisms of acupuncture.
➢ To refresh the participant’s theoretical knowledge of the health and safety aspects related to the clinical application of acupuncture.
