OVERVIEW
Integrative Traditional Chinese Medicine (ITCM) is organized by Niel Asher Education.
Description:
Explore foundational Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts and consider how selected techniques may complement contemporary hands-on practice.
Created for qualified rehabilitation and manual-therapy professionals, this five-module online diploma introduces relevant anatomy and biomechanics, foundational acupuncture theory, meridian concepts, Gua Sha and traditional fire cupping. The emphasis throughout is informed, ethical integration within each practitioner’s training and professional scope.
