Summary
The first part of the course will be taken up with the mapping of the 12 main distal points. These are the most powerful points on each Meridian, and when used in combination with formulae will always produce better results. Some of these points can also be used to help mobilise certain joints, e.g the the hip, neck, shoulder knee and back, as well as the groin area. Emphasis will be placed on covering as many musculoskeletal conditions as the group requires. Some conditions will be covered practically, and others will be discussed amongst the group and tutor. The course will finish with a question and answer session to make sure that all participants have a sound understanding of what has been covered.
This course will consist of 60% practical content and 40% theoretical content. Participants are limited to a maximum number of 10.

Objectives
The aim of this course is to allow the participant to start using these points automatically when using formulae and also to be able to locate the points with ease.
Content
The course will be mainly practical and will be interspersed with talks on oriental diagnostic skills for musculo/skeletal conditions.
This couse will cover the 12 main distal points, including location, needle techniqued, how to use the points to mobilise joints, and formulae.
Time will be alloted to improve and correct needle technique, as well as the usage of pressure techniques for certain conditions.
