Professional Acupressure For Pain Treatment explains how to use acupressure in the treatment of client pain. The course includes lecture, demonstration, supervised hands-on practice, handouts, Q&A and relevant clinical examples of these specific methods.

These techniques are based, foundationally, on the I-Ching, the Chinese clock and the concept of holographic mirroring of the body, similar to reflexology. In order to fully grasp the construction of this method, you need understanding of the foundational principles of Chinese Medicine. While in class, you’ll deepen your comprehension of yin and yang, the five elements, the location of the meridians and how energy moves within the body. You’ll then design a unique and effective plan using acupressure for your clients’ pain relief and your own self-care.

We’ll cover the most common pain patterns seen in the clinic: neck, shoulders, back, sacrum and extremities. At the end of the workshop, each participant will be able to create and implement a safe, effective and professional acupressure session.

Class is open to anyone interested in learning the building blocks of Chinese Medicine and how to use acupressure for themselves and others.

Mindy grew up in North-Central Florida and always knew she wanted to be in the healing professions. At 23, she studied at the Florida School of Massage. While working as a massage therapist, she completed her bachelor’s degree in Health Science from The University of Florida then attended The Academy of Five Element Acupuncture to study acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. After working in private practice for five years, she started teaching acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and supervising students in their internship clinical practice.
In 2020, Covid provided her with the opportunity to learn new ways to work with patients, so she became a certified practitioner of functional medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine, integrating TeleMed into her services.
