A Sustain Academy Event, Melbourne
StartTime: Thu 11 June 2026 9:00 am
What this seminar offers
You will:
- Refine your Acupuncture point accuracy using a clear neuroanatomical framework
- Deepen your understanding of neuromuscular structures for upper extremity, head and neck
- Learn how to incorporate neuroanatomy into everyday treatments without losing the spirit of Classical Chinese Medicine
- Experience how integrating ancient channel theory with modern science can transform your clinical results
Rather than just giving you protocols, this training shows you why points work the way they do – and how to adapt treatments to each patient.
Who this is for
This seminar is ideal for:
- Acupuncturists who want to ground their practice in both classical theory and modern neuroanatomy
- Practitioners who want more reproducible results for pain and neurological presentations
- Clinicians who are ready to move beyond memorising point functions and into clear, anatomy‑informed decision making
- Any healthcare professional interested in integrative, mechanism‑based Acupuncture
If you’ve ever wanted to explain Acupuncture to patients from both a classical and biomedical perspective, this training is built for you.
Inside your learning experience
Across the seminar you will:
- Connect classics and nerves
- Explore the Jing‑Mai system alongside the neurovascular system
- Understand the anatomical basis behind key point functions
- Practise precise needling and De Qi
- Needle points under Dr Poney’s guidance, learning how to elicit correct De Qi sensations
- Use both needles and electrical stimulation to feel what accurately targeted points should feel like
- Receive immediate feedback and corrections to refine your technique
- Develop problem‑solving and clinical decision making
- Learn to compare traditional explanations with contemporary neuroanatomical understanding
- Focus on how to think about each case, not just which protocol to copy
- Make better decisions tailored to each patient’s needs
- Experience supportive, hands‑on teaching
- Work in an environment where questions are encouraged and technique is carefully supervised
- Build confidence through repeated, guided practice on key regions of the upper extremity, head and neck
You’ll walk away with a clearer map of how channels and nerves interact – and how to use that map in real clinical situations.
What you’ll walk away with
By the end of Module 1, you can expect to:
- Improve the accuracy and effectiveness of your point selection
- Explain your treatments to patients from both Eastern and Western perspectives
- Incorporate neuroanatomy into your existing Acupuncture style without losing its roots
- Feel more confident treating neuromuscular and neurological presentations in the upper extremity, head and neck
- Expand your practice by offering a more integrated, modern approach to Acupuncture
