Become an expert in manual therapy and orthopaedics
Training with recognised experts and doctors in China
Learn deep work on vertebrae, intervertebral discs, joints and ligaments with the hands alone. Chinese manual therapy and orthopaedics methods help release nerve compression, restore mobility of the spine and much more. Physical methods and palpation techniques help beginners and practising specialists understand the anatomy and function of joints and tissues better, and determine the necessary treatment and rehabilitation methods.
