Andrew Hutton is an APA Titled Sports Physiotherapist in private
practice at Sports Point , Ballina, NSW. He has utilized
acupuncture in his management of a mainstream sporting and musculoskeletal
clientele since 1990.
The use of various needling techniques has, to a large
extent, replaced the use of electrotherapy agents at the clinic and has reduced
the majority of the “hand breaking” manual therapy techniques commonly used in
such a clinical setting preserving the therapists highly skilled hands for more
subtle techniques. He completed the APA acupuncture training programme in 1990
and has lectured on the APA Acupuncture training programme since 1997.
Andrew
initially developed “bridging” workshops in musculoskeletal acupuncture to meet
the demands of physiotherapists with traditional acupuncture training to assist
them in incorporating acupuncture into a physiotherapy clinic setting. .This
material has largely been incorporated into the current APA Acupuncture
training programme and is always well received.
Andrew has
studied in China and continues to study in Australia with teachers of meridian
therapy (a traditional Japanese approach to acupuncture) from Japan. He also
remains current with advances in Western Scientific Acupuncture and the major
approaches to dry needling . He enjoys the balance of traditional oriental
medicine and biomechanics based physiotherapy.
Recently Andrew
became aware that the dry needling was being presented in a simplistic and one
dimensional way in courses and workshops. Knowing that there were many refined
techniques and diverse approaches available, especially to the manual
therapist, he was motivated to develop the dry needling plus + workshops .
