Designed for acupuncture practitioners beyond foundation level, this flexible online programme strengthens essential principles – including safety, clinical reasoning, and evidence-informed care – while focusing on targeted acupuncture treatments for pelvic health issues like pelvic girdle pain, hot flushes, and overactive bladder.
Entry Requirements
To enrol in this online CPD course, you must have already completed a foundation course in acupuncture and dry needling. This should include comprehensive theoretical education – covering the principles of acupuncture, relevant anatomy and physiology, pain mechanisms, safety protocols, and clinical reasoning. In addition to the theoretical component, the foundation course must include a minimum of three days of face-to-face, practical instruction, allowing for hands-on learning of safe and effective needling techniques under expert supervision.
Please note that training in acupuncture is essential to access this online refresher – dry needling training alone does not provide sufficient preparation for the concepts explored in this course.
