Course description and Course objectives. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE for TEACHER'S EXPERIENCE . You are as good as your teacher is. (Chinese saying) Biomedical Acupuncture Institute offers unique treatments protocol and procedures for sports and trauma rehabilitation developed by Dr Yun-tao Ma. During this course we also present different procedures and techniques not included into Dr Ma’s textbook Biomedical Acupuncture for Sports and Trauma Rehabilitation: Dry Needling Techniques, published March 2010 by leading USA publisher Elsevier. This book is based on Dr Yun-tao Ma's 40 years of CLINICAL and RESEARCH experience “Dr Ma gets the nervous system firing, the clinician excited and makes the athlete say ‘WOW!’  after receiving his advanced Dry Needling therapy” - Dr Clayton Gibson, III, Personal Physician to Elite, Olympic and Professional Athletes (click for full text). How it works: Phoenix (July):"On the Monday morning when I got back from Dr. Ma’s Pain Management course, I tried dr Ma's dry needling technique out on one our NBA pre-draft guys who had a 9-year history of bilateral exertional compartment syndromeIn the past, nothing had worked for him. When we were done the athlete’s response was, “I don’t feel any different.” The next morning he came into the facility yelling, “Momma, if I would have had your phone number I would have yelled at you!” I started to panic, thinking that something must have gone wrong. He propped his leg up on the table and started poking at his anterior compartment. It had gone from hard as a rock to normal, pliable muscle tissue overnight."Sheri Walters,PT,Athletic performence
