In this continuation of the Foundations module, Dr. Shiu will guide you through assessing gait patterns with guest patients and using corrective gait protocols. He will teach advanced needle methods, including how to needle the intricate UB40 Wei-Zhong point, a technique pioneered by his mentor Dr. Shi Xue Min. Dr. Shiu and an associate will work with students hands-on to ensure that the proper techniques are being used.

Participants will also learn which herbal formulas and liniments Dr. Shiu recommends for gait injuries including several external herbal medicine approaches to treat meniscus tears, sprained ankles, and lower-extremity neuropathies.

Dr. Shiu will also show students how to correct gait through movement exercises based on Taiji and Qigong.
