Introduction to the Fundamentals of Shonishin (Non-Invasive Japanese Paediatric Acupuncture)

Open to all local and international participants!

This webinar introduces Shonishin, an established acupuncture modality in Japan that uses non-insertive tools and techniques to regulate qi through the skin and superficial channels. While commonly associated with paediatric applications, Shonishin has also long been used in Japan for adults, chronic internal conditions, and patients with needle aversion. The session will explore Japanese acupuncture in both technique and diagnostic focus, and how Shonishin offers a safe, precise and gentle approach for patients.

Participants will gain an understanding of:

• The historical context, development and fundamental theory of Shonishin

• The difference between insertive and non-insertive treatment strategies

• Tools and techniques used in Shonishin practice
