Course Description:
This new workshop presents a comprehensive system of abdominal palpation and treatment designed to treat both local abdominal pathologies and systemic imbalances manifesting in diverse symptoms. The material is applicable for bodyworkers and acupuncturists who wish to incorporate manual abdominal treatment into their practice, including for use while acupuncture needles are retained elsewhere.
This is NOT a Shiatsu, Ampuku or Tuina course. It is a bodywork course focusing on treating the Abdomen using various techniques, and is open to bodyworkers and acupuncturists.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Confidently treat the abdominal region using manual methods (while retaining needles elsewhere).
- Apply appropriate dispersion and tonification strategies through abdominal contact.
- Integrate abdominal work into a full-body treatment sequence for systemic regulation.
- Recognize contraindications and adapt techniques for safety and sensitivity.

Instructor: T'agyol Daniel Adler, R. Ac, R. TCMP
Hailing from South Africa and now calling Toronto home, Daniel came to Canada in 1998 to study Chinese medicine.
Trained in Zen Shiatsu, acupuncture, and Japanese herbal medicine, He is a RTCMP in current good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners of Ontario.
He works with a wide range of conditions, ranging from broad issues such as musculoskeletal pain and stress to more specific concerns around digestion and menstruation.
Daniel is particularly fascinated with the profound ability of how gentle, simple treatments have truly deep effects on health. And he is known for my ability to connect with clients, and for his strong commitment to facilitating healing on multiple levels.
As a teacher, he is known for his energetic, non-dogmatic and enthusiastic approach to the transmission of information and his ability to work with students from a wide range of skill levels and backgrounds.
Known as both Daniel and T’agyol, T’agyol is his Dharma name, which he received when he took Buddhist Precepts in the Korean Zen tradition. It means “Harmonizing of Opposites and Conflict Resolution”. He uses both names interchangeably.
