You're already needling.
You're seeing results.
But there is a gap.
Allied health professionals and remedial massage therapists are doing needling work. Seeing results. But lacking the depth of training that could make them truly exceptional.
"One strategy is to put the needles in, walk away, and hope something happens. And sometimes it works. But that can be improved." โ TJ Frank
You don't have time to do a Chinese medicine degree on top of your workload.
But there's a massive gap between basic needling competency and true mastery. That is where we come in.
Getting Chinese medicine into
as many hands as possible.
Chinese medicine โ specifically, meridian-based treatment โ is one of the most powerful clinical tools available.
But for too long, it's been locked behind years of study, esoteric language, and inaccessible training. We want to change that.
- โWe want remedial massage therapists needling with meridian precision.
- โWe want physios understanding the emotional-physical connections that drive chronic pain.
- โWe want allied health professionals using 2,000 years of clinical wisdom alongside their modern training.
You don't need to abandon what you know. You need to add to it.
The practical framework you can
apply in your very next session.
This 60-minute masterclass covers the essential framework for needling mastery โ the blueprint you need before diving into specific meridians and points.
-
โ
Point Location โ How to find points with confidence. Beyond "pin the tail on the donkey" โ using anatomy, palpation, and visual assessment.
-
โ
Needle Techniques โ Depth, angle, stimulation, and how to meet patients where they're at. From subtle to "freight train."
-
โ
Risk Assessment โ What you need to know to needle safely. Pneumothorax, nerve damage, anatomical structures โ the conversation most training skips.
-
โ
Point Selection โ How to choose points effectively using the Shu Command Point system. Even without knowing TCM patterns.
-
โ
Needle Size & Insertion โ When to use different gauges and lengths, and advanced techniques for each.
-
โ
The Art of Feeling โ How to feel tissue density through the needle like a master painter feels their brush. The skill that separates technicians from clinicians.
Not just better needling.
Mastery.
This isn't about memorising 365+ acupoints and feeling overwhelmed. Chinese medicine is inexhaustible as a study โ you can study it your entire life and never reach the end. That's exactly what makes it so valuable.
- โMeridian competency
- โConsistency in your outcomes
- โDiversity in your skill sets
- โConfidence in your needle placement
- โEfficiency in your treatments
- โSafety in your practice
"I finished my medical acupuncture training and it was immediately clear I was missing big pieces compared to TJ. Bhaktiatsu helped me see the meridians as gross anatomical structures โ not abstract lines, but the actual muscle and tendon pathways I was already needling.
More than that, it showed me how the meridians underpin both physical and emotional function. A person who carries chronic anger holds their body differently to someone living in fear. Once you see that, you can't unsee it.
Reducing the number of points to master actually gets better results โ completely changed how I practise. Better outcomes, less overwhelm." โ Dr. Tom ยท GP & Medical Acupuncturist
