(Sunday Instructor) INSTRUCTOR BIO: Roberto Iusso, Hon. B.A., R.Ac

Roberto is an honours graduate of the three-year Acupuncture Therapy Diploma program at the Shiatsu School of Canada and also holds certifications in Korean Hand Acupuncture (Level 2) from the Santa Barbara Center for Studies in Oriental Medicine as well as certification in Facial Rejuvenation (aka Cosmetic Acupuncture) from the College of Acupuncture & Therapeutics. He has also completed accredited courses in Medical Qi Gong and Tuina at the Shiatsu School of Canada and has studied Japanese Nagano/Kiiko style acupuncture therapy as well.

Roberto’s interest in Eastern healing practices began over 20 years ago when he undertook courses in Zen meditation to overcome anxiety and fears related to university examinations. Subsequent meditation practices led him to South Korea where he continued meditation practices, frequently taking courses and workshops at Hwagyesa Zen Temple in Seoul, while also teaching ESL. A knee injury during a Taekwondo training session led him to the discovery of Korean Hand Acupuncture Therapy, which he then learned and utilized over many months of self-treatment to recover from his injury.

TCM is the oldest existing medicine and doctors of the time, not having the modern diagnostic tools available today, formulated their own procedure consisting of four diagnostic methods, namely inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry and palpation.  This course is designed to expose the student to all of these standard TCM components of diagnosis through didactic study, practical application and slide presentations.  Proper clinical intake procedures will be discussed and there will be hands-on practicum sessions with the various pulse patterns and tongue pictures.

Also, distinguishing Syndromes according to the Zang-Fu organs is an important component of TCM.  However complex or diversified the disease may be, it is attributed to the dysfunction of one or more of the Zang-Fu organs.  This course of study reviews and expands on the various important diagnostic and therapeutic frameworks in TCM through class lectures and case studies.  The Zang-Fu organs will be covered, as well as the Extraordinary Organs, syndromes according to Qi, Blood and Body Fluids, the differentiation of syndromes according to the 4-Levels, 6-Stages and Three Burners, and the Eight Principles of TCM.
