Point Location Series: Command Points - Course 2
Urinary Bladder and Kidney
by Neil GumenickPoint Location Series: Command Points - Course 2
Course Overview
Accurate point location is essential for acupuncture treatment to be effective. Regardless of the accuracy of interviewing and rapport skills, diagnostic assessments of the patient’s needs, pulse findings, and selection of points, if we miss the point, we have done no treatment. Command points are some of the most common points treated, all located distal to the knee or elbow flexure.Professor Neil Gumenick has been teaching point location to students for over 3 decades and has been in full-time practice since 1981. In this webinar series, he will discuss how to best position the patient, how to identify appropriate physical landmarks, measuring distances, and finally locating, by palpation, the exact point. Power point photos of actual patients and anatomical diagrams will accompany Neil’s precise descriptions.
In session 2, Professor Gumenick covers the Urinary Bladder and Kidney.

Good course, helped me brush up on point location. Neil is engaging and interesting, and gets the information across clearly.Heather B.Canada
It is very easy as a practitioner to get caught up on learning a new skill and/or theory and whilst this course is a fairly straight forward and simplistic course the value of point location accuracy cannot be underestimated when it comes to clinical outcomes. I recommend this course to all practitioners as a solid form of revision and to remind us all of the importance of point locations. Laura W.Australia
