This online course with Whitfield Reaves is designed as a question and answer type of mentoring group. The intention is to provide community with those interested in acupuncture sports medicine, and to have direct access to a teacher for questions and answers.

This 3 hour online course will be structured as follows:

(1) We will begin with a 30 minute presentation on a new topic of sports acupuncture. Included will be everything you need to know to integrate this topic into your clinical practice

(2) Question and answers on the first two webinars of 2024: Treatment of the low back and hip. We will review the important features of these six hours of video.

(3) Questions and answer on the third webinar of 2024: Points that complement treatment of lower extremity pain. The important features such as correcting posture and enhancing biomechanics and foot plant will be reviewed.

(4) We will have a discussion about managing a sports acupuncture practice, and answer any questions about this topic.

(5) And finally, Whitfield will present all of the supplies, needle types and sizes, and other devices that he uses in his practice of acupuncture sports medicine.

The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
