I write this post on this significantly wet winter morning, the ocean continues to rage with wind torn waves and whitewater exploding randomly, relentlessly pounding the foreshore.

This week I presented two very different workshops, one for the physiotherapists with whom I work in Brisbane, the other for a select group of students.

The first  workshop, for the physiotherapists presented a unique challenge.

How to best communicate to my physiotherapy colleagues the unique and skill-based nature of  Traditional Japanese Acupuncture, whilst not arousing the ire of my Acupuncture colleagues for giving away the so-called secrets of the practice of Traditional Acupuncture ?


The situation here in Australia regarding physiotherapists and the practice of Acupuncture is ambiguous to say the least.

The popularization of dry needling amongst a variety of modalities, especially physiotherapy in recent years is perceived by many acupuncturists as a direct threat to our profession.
