New to Teishin Needling?

​

This workshop is ideal practitioners looking to work in a more gentle manner, with a focus on non-insertive techniques. No experience in Traditional Japanese Medicine is necessary. Although the techniques are gentle in nature, the effects are profound and immediate. This seminar will focus on Teishin use and a new & unique approach refined by Funemizu-sensei.

​

You will learn new skills that can be immediately applied into your clinical practice.

Studied with Funemizu-sensei Before?

This is a wonderful way to DEEPEN your knowledge. Funemizu-sensei has refined many techniques & applications since his last visit in 2014; we hope you will join us!

​

​

Brief Overview of Seminar...

In this seminar we have asked Funemizu-sensei to focus on his unique application of Teishin use. He will cover:

  • What the right and left hands should be doing,

  • What to be aware of (with your hands),

  • How to find points to treat,

  • How to know if they points need to be tonified or reduced.

​

This event will teach you unique techniques for treating the mind and spirit. Sensei Takahiro Funemizu has a dynamic teaching style and obvious technical skills that are readily transmissible. These include a wide variety of “fine touch” techniques not widely used in North America, such as sesshokushin and sanshin. You will learn a variety of non-insertive techniques with various Teishin tools for deficiency, stress, and shen disturbances. These techniques are easily understood and applied clinically to effectively sooth the Body-Mind.

 

You will learn graceful “katas” or protocols to elicit deep relaxation and balance with the gentle and effective Meridian Therapy. In addition to common conditions of the back, abdomen and head, facial acupuncture will also be covered. These techniques have been refined and clinically applied treating victims of the Japan earthquake- tsunami. The techniques are applicable for a wide range of mental-health conditions, including insomnia, depression, PTSD, anxiety & shock, and are comfortable & effective for patients, young or old. 

​

At the completion of this seminar you will:

  • Understand the Japanese five-element approach to Heart Shock Trauma

  • Be competent in providing basic Teishin techniques for root treatment

  • Be competent in providing manual and non-invasive stimulation using acupuncture tools, e.g. Teshin

  • Appreciate & explore whole body treatment using Japanese diagnostic and stimulation techniques
