This three-day workshop will give you a working knowledge of Dr Manaka’s comprehensive system of diagnosis and treatment: a structured approach to address the root, the branch and the overall structure of the body. The course will focus on Dr. Manaka’s insights into the channel system and the dynamic interactions between channels, points, the abdomen and other reflex areas.
Yoshio Manaka was a poet, artist, scholar, physician and healer. He lived for and was inspired by ideas and invention. At the pinnacle of his life he reached a level of healing skill that made him renowned in Japan and overseas.

This introduction to Manaka’s approach is a gateway to a deeper understanding of acupuncture, palpation and moxibustion and will bring you to new levels of clinical effectiveness and confidence.
The course will focus on both the theory and practice of the following:
By the end of the course you will be able to treat your patients with this system.
