Nanopuncture - Stroke Foundation and Concussion Strategies | Melbourne Sep 2026

You've learnt Nanopuncture in theory – now it's time to master these skills through intensive clinical practice.
Our seminars are known for their immersive, hands-on approach to neurological acupuncture, with live demonstrations, guided group practice, and real patient cases. But even with this level of training, many practitioners still feel a gap when they return to clinic:
�⚪ The leap from seminar room to a busy clinic can feel daunting
⚪ Confidence can dip when cases are more complex or unpredictable
⚪ True one-on-one clinical mentorship in a live setting is rare�
This Nanopuncture - Stroke Foundation and Concussion Strategies training is designed to close that gap.�
What this training offers�
This is a comprehensive three-day foundation course covering both stroke rehabilitation AND concussion treatment strategies.
You will:�
🔹 Learn the authentic XNKQ (Xing Nao Kai Qiao) foundation system from Dr Clayton Shiu
🔹 Master the Neural Flush technique – the "circuit breaker" that resets the nervous system
🔹 Treat actual patients using Nanopuncture, with step-by-step guidance
🔹 Receive personalised feedback in an intimate group setting
🔹 Develop protocols that restore brain blood flow and reawaken
dormant neurological pathways�
This is not a lecture. It's an apprenticeship-style training focused on real cases, real needles, and real-time refinement.�
Who this is for�
This training is for acupuncturists who:�
✅ Want to confidently apply Nanopuncture in everyday practice
✅ Are ready to handle complex stroke and neurological cases
✅ Value close mentorship, honest feedback, and practical refinement
✅ Want to become the go-to practitioner for "impossible" cases�
No prerequisites required. This training is designed for acupuncturists at every level, from recent graduates to seasoned practitioners.
If you're ready to move beyond theory and into truly confident clinical practice with neurological cases, this training is designed for you.�
