Following the success of Whitfield Reaves popular (and sold-out!) workshop on treatment of the shoulder, we decided to invite Dr. Reaves back for another seminar. This seminar features the use of advanced acupuncture techniques in the treatment of pain and injury to the hip and thigh. Included will be the tendino-muscle meridians, distal points, and strategies using the opposite side and opposite extremity. Treating the site of injury is detailed with such techniques as threading the tendon, trigger point therapy, and fascial release. Many common conditions will be covered. Having spent over 25 years specializing in the treatment of musculo-skeletal disorders, Whitfield’s clinical experience is invaluable for practitioners working with pain.
