Applied Channel Theory
Six Channel Physiology, Diagnosis and Treatment
with Dr. Jason D. Robertson

This interactive seven-part seminar will combine six Zoom lectures with a capstone hands-on seminar. Applied Channel Theory (經絡醫學 jīng luò yī xué) is a current of thinking in contemporary acupuncture which strives to reintroduce classical physiological systems in the modern clinic. Developed by Beijing professor Wang Ju-yi (王居易) during 50 years of practice, it is an approach to diagnosis and treatment which allows for innovation and flexibility. The goal of this series is not to provide a collection of protocols for individual diseases but instead to foster a conceptualization in each student’s mind of a moving, living system. Through the development and application of a classical way of seeing anatomy, physiology and pathology, students will open doors to new clinical insight while creating skills for truly individualized acupuncture treatments.
At the heart of Applied Channel Theory is a belief that clinical results will improve significantly if one can combine classical systems with palpatory diagnostic technique. For this reason, a true transmission of Professor Wang’s life work must include not only theory but also technical training in careful channel examination. Before his passing in 2017, Dr. Wang would invite students for two-week extended seminars in his Beijing clinic. Lectures would be followed by clinical demonstration and hands-on palpation practice so that each student could develop an acupuncture style of their own that is rooted in core classical foundations.
It is exciting to have an opportunity to re-create this more thorough training in Applied Channel Theory for students in the 21st century. The structure of the class will involve six live online lectures over a six-month period followed by a three-day in-person intensive. By spreading the information out over a series of interactive lectures, students will be able to learn at a natural pace while slowly integrating and preparing for the extended seminar where the material will truly come to life.

Part Seven - Point Location and Channel Examination Practicum with Live Case Presentations

This three-day event will bring the information to life with hands-on instruction and practice. In the last years of his work with his senior apprentices, Professor Wang began to return to the absolute primacy of careful point location. This was likely due to his realization that training which emphasized theory without student embodiment led to less than satisfactory clinical results. In that spirit, this class will involve instruction in both channel examination and point location of all major points discussed in earlier classes. Each day will alternate between lectures and extensive time for supervised hands-on practice. This will include student needling practice of commonly used point pairs and live clinical demonstration by the instructor. Some additional lecture material may also be presented based on questions presented by students in the months leading up to the class.

Practical information

The online seminars will take place via Zoom and will be recorded for the students to review until the next seminar. This is all possible via our online portal. Here you can also download the digital hand-out and find the Zoom link. Everything will be clearly explained in advance and there will be a moderator present every seminar to assist if there are any technical problems.
