Integrating Tuina into Acupuncture Practice with Nick Lowe

New for 2026 - 2027! At East West College we are delighted to offer a modular weekend course based on tuina for treating MSK that you can use in your acupuncture clinic. 

We believe that incorporating tuina and advanced bodywork into your practice will give you additional confidence with handling the body and giving a new way of treating channels and points with pressure and stretching. The addition of acupressure to an acupuncture treatment can provide patients with a greater sense of nurture and wellbeing. This hands on course is intended to be used in conjunction with and complementary to Acupuncture, as an add-on to your practice rather than as a standalone treatment.

Teaching is with tutor Nick Lowe offering a super practical curriculum.
