Practical Needling Essentials for Podiatrists (PNE1 & PNE1/PNE 2 & PNE 2 & PNE3 & MASTERCLASSES
WESTERN MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE FOR PODIATRISTS
The 2 Day (PNE1) workshop was previously approved by the College of Podiatry (COP) Acupuncture Certification as required for COP insurance cover. We have applied to to resume cover as coming back to UK.
PNE1 is the foundation workshop which include the major building blocks for a comprehensive approach to this modality toes to knees. It is intended for you to be ready to commence using the modality on your first day back in clinic. You cannot participate in more advanced training without having done this workshop. This modality will often enable you to quickly zero in on the cause of the pain and dysfunction in individual cases.
PNE 2 You will often get best results by treating the functional lower limb. In reality this is what we are dealing with for most conditions. This workshop will take you into treatment of the full functional train. Your skills will also be enhanced through the addition of electrostimulation through the needles to accelerate and deepen the responses to resolve issues sooner.
*** If you already have acupuncture accreditation, then look for the discount on the listed fee. We guarantee (money back, no questions) that you will significantly increase your acupuncture/needling scope of practice! Please contact us about this offer. ***
The PNE1 and other workshops, below, enable you to use the modality with the practical skills and understanding REQUIRED to become exceptional in the use of needling techniques for lower limb conditions in all areas of podiatric practice. They were developed by a Podiatrist with over 30 years experience using this modality with a Podiatric perspective seeking out the most advanced training available and applying it in clinical practice. The final question always was whether any new technique was suitable for Podiatrists to understand and use in clinical practice for it to be included at some stage within the training. The workshops are continuously being updated with new content. Repeating the workshop will always add new skills.
Limited places are available in all workshops. In general workshops are limited to 16 particiapants.
PRACTICAL NEEDLING for PODIATRISTS (PNE1 & PNE2 & PNE3)
“Acupuncture” is a registered health profession in Australia. We respect Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), We do not provide training in TCM and you cannot claim to be an “acupuncturist” per se, please. You cannot make a TCM diagnosis with our training. Apart from misleading clients are open to prosecution in Australia. However In UK with no regulation any needling modality can be called acupuncture. Our workshops are presented from a Western Medical perspective with the current scientific mechanisms explained. You are not required to learn nor believe in traditional theories to practice what is taught.
Participants will learn to apply a wide range of practical techniques to address specific podiatric conditions. You will be capable of using the techniques learnt immediately on your return to clinical practice. You will have the capabilities to increase your clinical effectiveness and your scope of practice. You will be able to simply complement your current management for many conditions or even replace some existing techniques as well as even offer treatment for some conditions where currently no treatment is offered. Case studies are constantly discussed.
The workshop also includes effective techniques for the release of myofascial trigger points. These areas are a very common cause of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. There is a huge benefit in clinical outcomes when you understand and incorporate this practice into your clinic. In the west one technique often used is called DRY NEEDLING. Importantly, you will also learn in our workshops to combine various needling techniques and how to combine these with your existing podiatric skills for comprehensive treatment. You will learn to treat pain resulting from nerve dysfunction. Mechanisms to enhance local tissue healing will be thoroughly explained. Techniques from this workshop may be used in all areas of practice from treating sporting injuries through to dealing with high risk cases.
PNE3 and shorter MASTERCLASSES are now offered for graduates of the PNE1 & PNE2. They comprehensively integrate needling with Electrostimulation, Laser Therapy, percussive tissue stimulation,advanced lower limb taping, manual therapies and mechanical interventions for specific conditions and associated conditions.

COMMENTS/FEEDBACK: (see more on testimonial page)
“Without doubt the most useful, engaging and exciting postgraduate course I have attended within the last 15 years. The teaching was superb and since leaving the classroom two weeks ago, I can honestly say I have put the skills learned to use on each and every patient through the door. Shane Toohey is a typical cool as cucumber Aussie with a passion for teaching, his teaching made for a safe and enjoyable learning environment. The course was almost all practical which made it all the more enjoyable and helped everything to stick. Can’t wait for the next one!”
