Would you like to find out what the Balance Method is first?
Before you decide on the training, you can first get to know the method personally.
At a free online meeting, Adi Fromm and Kristýna Idesová will introduce you to the basic principles of the Balance Method and show you how to think about the method in clinical practice. The seminar is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
What will you take away from the training?
Greater confidence in point selection
Clearer clinical decision-making
Immediately into practice
You will understand why to choose specific points and how to systematically arrive at their selection.
Instead of memorizing individual combinations, you will learn to work with principles that you can apply even to new and more complex cases.
You won't just listen to theory. You will see live demonstrations, go through case studies, and dedicate the third day to practical training.
-
This is primarily a practical course!
-
You will experience how immediate pain relief works – not just theoretically, but firsthand.
-
You will learn a simple 5-step procedure (including Dr. Richard Tan's "Acupuncture 1-2-3" method), which you can immediately apply in your practice.
-
You will gain a tool for immediate pain relief – right during the session.
-
You will master working with the five meridian balancing systems, which provide a systematic and logical approach.
-
You will learn how to achieve maximum effect with a minimum number of needles.
-
You will also expand your knowledge of the Global Balance approach, which is used to treat multiple blocked meridians, internal or functional imbalances, and you will also begin working with mental-emotional issues.
The goal is not more information that you have to memorize.
The goal is to gain a system that you can use during actual treatment.

a postgraduate path for practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine therapists that connects classical texts, the logic of Balance System Acupuncture, and clinical practice.
