The recent seminar held in Barcelona was a resounding success, uniting acupuncture enthusiasts and professionals from diverse corners of the globe, including Italy, the UK, France, and Vietnam. This unique event offered participants an unparalleled opportunity to refine their clinical skills and expand their understanding of Tung acupuncture, under the expert guidance of Calvin Chien, a Master Tung third-generation disciple and disciple of the esteemed Dr. Lin.
A practical approach to learning
The seminar’s primary focus was practical application, equipping attendees with tools they could implement immediately in their clinics. Participants delved deeply into:
- Accurate diagnosis techniques and understanding clinical presentations.
- Treatment protocols, including the strategic use of acupuncture points and herbal prescriptions.
- The intricacies of point combinations, insertion order, needle depth, and angle.
- Palmar diagnosis, a rare and advanced skill, was also introduced. Calvin Chien emphasized that mastering this subtle art requires not only years of practice but also guidance from a seasoned practitioner who incorporates it daily into their clinical repertoire.
Immediate impact on clinical practice
Students left the seminar inspired and ready to apply their newfound knowledge. Many reported real clinical results within days of returning to their practices, a testament to the seminar’s hands-on approach. The collaborative spirit of the seminar didn’t end in Barcelona—attendees continue to engage with Calvin Chien through regular discussions, refining their skills further and addressing real-world clinical challenges.
A unique opportunity to learn from a Master
One of the seminar's highlights was Calvin Chien’s generous sharing of clinical pearls, offering insights rooted in decades of personal practice and his mentorship under Dr. Lin, a close colleague of Master Tung. For example, a pivotal revelation came during a discussion about the Five Tiger point. Many participants shared their struggles in achieving results with this point. Calvin clarified that commonly used locations in some atlases were incorrect. His precise instructions on point location, pairing, and needling techniques provided immediate clarity and boosted the students' confidence in using this powerful point.
