SOLK / PPS (WM-B)
Many patients experience symptoms for which conventional healthcare cannot find a clear physical explanation. These are often the very patients who turn to complementary health practitioners, who can offer fresh diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives from their own professional frameworks. Such symptoms are referred to as Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS), or more recently Persistent Physical Symptoms (PPS).
During this interactive training day you will:
• explore what is meant by SOLK/PPS and how these conditions are viewed within conventional medicine.
• share your own perspectives on these symptoms and connect them with patterns recognised in complementary medicine.
• discover where and how you, as a complementary health professional, can play a meaningful role for this patient group.

Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture
Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA) is an acupuncture technique invented in 1975 by Professor Zhang Xinshu. WAA involves the stimulation of 12 acupuncture points located in the wrist and ankle through the insertion of subcutaneous needles that are left in place and crusted over. It is a completely painless technique and is widely used in clinical practice, particularly for musculoskeletal disorders, but also for internal medicine in combination with somatic acupuncture. During the seminar, the main applications of this method will be illustrated, and a lot of attention and space will be given to the practical part and the methodology of needle insertion.

Traditional Formulae for Treating Modern Diseases

In this two-day lecture, Dr. Yang will introduce 25 traditional and modern Chinese patent medicines that can be used either individually or in pairs to treat the most common conditions encountered in an acupuncture practice.
