Course Description:

The concepts of Zang Fu are absolutely fundamental to the practice of traditional acupuncture. This ancient model still has modern day clinical relevance in providing a framework for both diagnosis and treatment prescription that is both elegant and effective.

In Acupuncture, the concept of Zang Fu is important as it helps acupuncturists understand the underlying imbalances in the body. By assessing the state of the Zang Fu organs and their related meridians acupuncturists can determine which acupuncture points to use to restore balance and harmony to the bodies meridians.

Each Zang Fu organ is associated with specific meridians and acupuncture points that can be used to address various health issues.

Understanding the Zang Fu system is fundamental in diagnosing and treating patients using acupuncture

A short Qi Gong component will be part off the day. Come along to the course! We’re planning for it to be fun!

NB: This course would be too challenging to practitioners trained in dry needling only. It should only be open to practitioners trained in acupuncture to a level permitting PAANZ registration.

To attend this course you should have 80 hours of needling training with at least 40 hours being outside of Dry Needling. If you are unsure whether you meet the minimum requirements, please contact the PAANZ administrator PAANZ@physiotherapy.org.nz
