Fascias and acupuncture: Toward a contemporary approach of Chinese medecine?

What an honor! I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the wonderful Zhongyi podcast hosted by Manon Perrot. We talked about fascias and acupuncture, who would have thought ;)

If someone had told me 20 years ago when I started my practice and research that I would one day find myself on the following episode Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee!

Topics covered:

-Anatomy in Chinese medicine
-The properties of fascia
-The definition of meridians
-The confusion of dry needling
-And much more!

Simon Bélair will be presenting his research at the 12th annual conference of the CFMTC on november 8th.

The topic will be : Acupuncture and fascia: a contemporary and classical approach of the channels.

Presenting: ''These bodies of water " at the GRAM festival in Percé, Québec.

''These bodies of water " is an activity in which the public is invited to make a sound journey and reflect on the water that circulates in our bodies and in the landscape.

We presented this work to popularize certain concepts of Nei Jing and to help people discover the links that unite us with nature.

It was presented at the SBC gallery, the Musée d'art de Joliette and, more recently, as part of Les Perceides in Gaspésie.

CBC did a nice covering of the event:
