CRANIAL NERVES & CHINESE THERAPEUTIC MANIPULATION

In the prospects of  integrating Chinese medicine with Western medicine, ongoing efforts have  been conducted to correlate how to apply each system to better  understand, enrich, and bring innovations toward each medical paradigm.  Such endeavors have at times resulted in deeper insights as evidenced by  research and clinical findings. With that aspiration, this seminar will  explore the role and application of Chinese medicine to unraveling the  12 cranial nerves and how to access, train (or retrain), and manipulate  these nerves for wellness, maintenance, rehabilitation, and treatment.  While innovative techniques have been developed in the West, such as  cranial sacral therapy and neuro-muscular releases, many in the West are  not familiar with similar and yet different techniques that have  evolved within Chinese medicine. This seminar will introduce and train  participants in working with the cranial nerves from the perspective of  acupuncture channels and ZangFu theory through the different modalities  of Chinese medicine and how such an understanding and approach can lead  to better and vibrant self-care and enhance clinical practice.
