Level 2 - Acupuncture for Sports Injuries
Traditional, Healing, Balancing, Therapeutic
Join expert practitioner and educator Bernard Nolan for this comprehensive Level 2 Acupuncture course, designed specifically for therapists who have completed their L1 Acupuncture course and want to deepen their knowledge, confidence, and treatment precision. This hands-on, practical course builds on foundational acupuncture skills and introduces more advanced needling techniques tailored to soft tissue dysfunction, pain management, and injury recovery. You’ll explore refined approaches to needling trigger points, motor points, and musculotendinous pathways, all grounded in clinical reasoning and safety. Bernard brings decades of experience to his teaching, combining anatomical precision with clear, evidence-informed strategies. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of when, where, and why to needle—plus how to integrate acupuncture seamlessly into your existing manual therapy or rehabilitation practice. Throughout the course, you’ll receive close supervision, demonstrations, and case-based learning, ensuring you leave with skills that are immediately applicable. Whether you're working with athletes, chronic pain clients, or rehabilitation patients, this Level 2 course will equip you with the confidence and competence to deliver advanced, effective acupuncture treatments.
