Learning in person

Practical training.
Individual guidance.

Ecology in Motion™ is learned through observation, application and response.

Approximately 75% of each course is hands-on, allowing students to develop practical skills through supervised treatment, individual feedback and repeated assessment.

Rather than simply memorizing a sequence, you learn to recognize relevant relationships, choose where to begin and adapt treatment according to the body's response.

Course content

Two perspectives. One whole body.

Both two-day courses stand independently. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to Therapeutic Gua Sha.

03

Complete Therapeutic Training
