Description:

In Module 3, the goal is to answer the main question most students have once they have started to use Applied Channel Theory. How do I interpret this patient according to channel physiology? How do I decide which channel to treat? Which points do I use?

During this course all of the information learned in the first two modules will be integrated to help participants arrive at a better diagnosis.

The course will cover methods of channel differentiation — essentially how to link the symptom pattern with the relevant channel.

In addition, different methods of channel selection will also be discussed — these methods discuss how to choose the most appropriate channel for treatment.

All of this content will be discussed through discussion of specific disorders and clinical cases. There will also be live clinical cases to further demonstrate the clinical application of ACT.

The online portion of the class (Day 1) will focus on the general methods of channel differentiation and channel selection.

For the in-person class (Days 2 and 3), more focus will be placed on the treatment of specific clinical disorders with clinical cases and live demonstration. For the first day, treatment of common “channel sinew” disorders will be discussed, such as back pain and shoulder pain. For the second day, the treatment of internal disorders will be discussed, including issues like insomnia/depression and gynaecological disorders.
