Acupuncture Module 1 - Tui Na Foundation Diploma
14 days - Basic TCM theory is taught through the medium of Tui Na which is used in the practical context from the start. Our Tui Na course is very thorough and comprehensive giving enough TCM to apply an effective Tui Na in a therapeutic context. (you learn both the location and function of 100 acupoints. This gives confidence in touching and treating people before inserting needles.

Acupuncture Module 2 - Tui Na Master Practitioner Diploma
( not compulsory for sports therapists ) 20 days - you learn over 100 new techniques for treatment, tongue & pulse diagnosis as well as the syndromes. Module 1 & 2 provide a strong foundation of TCM needed for the Acupuncture

Acupuncture Module 3 - Acupuncture Diploma
22 days - If you are prepared to study more intensively you can do Module 2 & 3 simultaneously.

Bodyharmonics is liaising with the Department of Health regarding standards. There are present no statutory regulations.

According to our students, our courses can be described as qualitative rather than quantitative. They are like distance learning with intensive periods of contact. The intensity of contact study is much greater than that which would be the norm in a College of Higher Education.

All aspects of TCM are taught during the Modules 1,2,3. It is progressive. Our acupuncture course is founded on the application of theory to the practical situation which is always supervised. Students do lots of private study to achieve the standards required for safe and effective practice.

Acupuncture is a practical skill which needs lots of practical
experience.

Our acupuncture course gives each student the opportunity to practice needling specific acu-points, accurately and deeply. Students also get to experience first hand the unique different effects and sensations.

Ultimately, the ability to use Tui Na with acupuncture greatly enhances the effectiveness of treatment for all conditions. Tui Na provides the ideal practical base on which to build Acupuncture. Students who possess Tui Na qualifications will have:

  • a working understanding of TCM
  • an ability to diagnose the body in health and disease
  • an ability to use meridians and acupoints in a clinical context.

The combination of Acupuncture with Tui Na creates some of the most powerful medicine available in the world today.

Our carefully controlled acupuncture point combinations are practised both in class and used for your out-of-class case studies. They help you build up mega confidence in treating musculo-skeletal conditions as well as internal problems.

Most other schools do not give you this hands-on training and tend to teach basic TCM theory as an academic exercise. Practical clinical acupuncture only comes in much later in the course. However long the course, understanding the complexities of TCM takes a lifetime of study.

This acupuncture course is recognised by the Institute for Complimentary Medicine and the British Register of Complementary Practitioners.
