This module presents an evidence based acupuncture approach to three of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated conditions in pelvic health, dyspareunia, vaginismus, and genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Attendees will review biomedical presentation, differential diagnosis, and current research on acupuncture as an adjunct to standard care, then bridge into TCM pattern differentiation for each condition. A live demonstration of point location and needling technique will be followed by structured small group practice, giving attendees direct experience with palpation, point location and bone pecking techniques.

This module addresses the most common pain presentations acupuncturists encounter in pelvic health practice, primary dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Attendees will learn TCM views on dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain as well as research for acupuncture and these conditions. Attendees will review TCM pattern differentiation for both conditions, then receive a live demonstration of electroacupuncture technique for CPPS and dysmenorrhea and abdominal acupuncture, followed by small group hands on practice.

This module covers the three most common urologic presentations in pelvic health acupuncture practice, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, and recurrent urinary tract infection. Attendees will review current research on acupuncture and posterior tibial nerve stimulation for OAB, TCM pattern differentiation across all three conditions, and referral criteria specific to urologic red flags. A live demonstration of PTNS setup, including estim, will be followed by supervised small group practice.

This six-hour, hands-on workshop explores fascia as the body’s dynamic, collagen-based connective tissue system and examines its role in force transmission, posture, movement, sensation, and tissue adaptation. Participants will be introduced to foundational concepts including biotensegrity, mechanotransduction, fascial densification, and fascial regeneration, with discussion of how these concepts inform assessment and myofascial treatment.

The workshop then moves from theory into practice, beginning with postural assessment and guided exploration of fascial techniques and handholds. Participants will work with partners to develop practical assessment skills and apply techniques to the tibialis, iliac crest, obliques, quadratus lumborum, upper lateral line, serratus, latissimus, pectoralis minor, subclavius, and scapular region. The final portion focuses on the sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, and suboccipital group, with opportunities for questions and discussion throughout.

Combining current fascia concepts with extensive hands-on practice, this workshop is designed to help practitioners connect the underlying science of fascial adaptation with practical assessment and treatment techniques they can incorporate into clinical practice.

Whether you’ve recently invested in a therapeutic laser or have years of clinical experience, this immersive workshop is designed to help you gain greater confidence, improve treatment outcomes, and maximize the potential of your laser system.

Spend an entire day working alongside Philipp Weider, Instructor for the Swiss Federal Certificate of Competence in Laser Acupuncture, in an intensive hands-on learning environment. Participants are encouraged to bring their own handheld Class III or Class IV therapeutic laser and receive practical instruction using their own equipment.

The workshop combines foundational science with advanced clinical applications through live demonstrations, supervised practical sessions, and partner treatments.

Note: Participants are encouraged to bring their own handheld laser system. Philipp’s extensive experience with a wide range of therapeutic laser technologies allows him to provide individualized guidance regardless of the manufacturer or model.
