About

Jay Sandweiss and Dan Bensky led a hands-on workshop lasting two and a half days, aimed at practitioners who wanted to combine acupuncture with manual medicine methods. The program was billed as teaching muscle testing drawn from Applied Kinesiology, along with Counterstrain and Myofascial release used on acupuncture points, plus Channel Listening and Qi Signal Assessment from Engaging Vitality. The approaches were presented as especially useful for longer-standing or less acute complaints, notably those involving the musculoskeletal system. It was intended for licensed acupuncturists, osteopathic physicians and MDs licensed to perform acupuncture.

It started on October 2, 2026.

It was held at Dominican University Edgehill Mansion, First Floor, Garden Room, 50 Acacia Ave., San Rafael, CA 94901.

Licensed acupuncturists, osteopathic physicians, medical doctors licensed to perform acupuncture, and other licensed health professionals were the intended audience.

It suited licensed acupuncturists and physicians who practice acupuncture and wanted hands-on manual medicine skills, since the 2.5-day workshop was billed as teaching muscle testing, Counterstrain and channel listening and was approved for 20 CEU hours or 17.5 CME hours. Practitioners who did not hold a license to perform acupuncture, or who mainly wanted lecture-based theory, would have gotten less from it, given the hands-on format led by two osteopathic physicians.

Participants at hands-on clinical workshops of this kind usually wear loose, comfortable, casual clothing, since the sessions involve practicing palpation and muscle testing on one another.
