Our Acupuncture and Acupressure course is designed to provide students with comprehensive training in these ancient healing practices. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to alleviate pain and treat various health conditions. Acupressure, on the other hand, uses manual pressure on these points to achieve similar therapeutic effects. This course aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to effectively practice both techniques.
