Dr. Wang Ju-Yi’s Applied Channel Theory provides a framework based in classical Chinese medicine theories to help practitioners better understand the physiological mechanisms that are contributing to their patients’ health concerns. This approach gives students and practitioners practical skills that help us decipher patient symptoms and guide us towards clear diagnoses and treatments. This three day course will introduce the foundations of channel physiology in the 6 levels and channel palpation techniques through two days of interactive lectures and hands-on practice. The third day will be Grand Rounds where the instructor will be treating patients using the Applied Channel Theory system to demonstrate the process from intake, channel examination and diagnosis to point selection and treatment. There will be time after each case to discuss how the channel findings help us understand the channel-organ physiology, point selection and point location.
