Course Description:

When you take a Comprehensive Introductory Seminar, you’ll learn the complete fundamentals of the Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis system. You’ll receive an in-depth overview—everything from taking a simple pulse rate through interpretation and treatment planning. Our dedication to small student-teacher ratios means that you’ll receive 1-on-1 guidance from Certified Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis Instructors and will have lots of opportunities to practice and gain comfort in applying these clinically-relevant palpation skills.

Course Objectives 

• Recognize fundamental pulse qualities

• Learn the typical and derivative interpretations of various pulse presentations

• Learn how to properly palpate and interpret findings on large segments of the pulse

• Learn how to palpate the principal and complementary positions

• Gain a solid foundation in pulse diagnosis, enabling you to embark on a journey toward tactile and didactic mastery of this or any other pulse diagnosis system

Curriculum and Materials Provided

This seminar consists of four in-person days and two remote meetings. The in-person sessions include both hands-on and lecture formats to optimize your exposure to and learning of a vast amount of information and hands-on skills.

When you sign up for an Introductory Seminar, we’ll send you a video introduction to the topics we’ll be covering during the course. Prior to the course, we’ll also provide you with a PDF of the Introductory Shen-Hammer handbook as well as any other relevant course materials.

This course has no prerequisites and is appropriate for students and practitioners who have not yet taken an introductory seminar. This course is for you if you've never taken an Intro Seminar and would like to build a firm foundation in all that is Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis.
