Course content

Unique opportunity to learn from Prof. Bob Gerwin and Simeon Niel-Asher.
Probably the last event of its kind in Germany, Prof. Bob Gerwin shares his knowledge as an expert in this field.

Theory and practice of medical acupuncture, based on the teachings of Dr. Travell and Simon (the inventors of the trigger point concept). There are numerous approaches to needling patients, many of which are incorrect and some of which are unsafe. This course is aimed at absolute beginners as well as those who already have experience with medical acupuncture (dry needling).

Simeon Niel-Asher tells you why you should definitely attend this course:

Safety: is our most important concern. We take plenty of time to discuss the neuroscience and neurovascular anatomy and demonstrate the safety precautions and safest techniques for each muscle. We also treat the complications of needling, including bleeding, infection and pneumothorax (in the chest area).

Duration of the course: Dry needling is based on anatomy and osteopaths/physiotherapists/chiropractors have completed hundreds of hours of anatomy training, the technique itself is very easy to learn. The key lies in understanding the anatomy and in particular the fiber direction. We cover the anatomy of each muscle in great depth, both in theory and in practice.

We are committed to safe and effective techniques and establishing a gold standard for needling.

Triggerpoints3d: One of the main problems after a course is that students often go out and forget how to perform the correct techniques. Asher and Gerwin have solved this problem by developing an app that contains over 400 – 4k videos of Professor Gerwin demonstrating the gold standard of needling.
