ForwardMay 1, 2025 - Intensive Integrative Workshop of Providing Palliative Acupressure and Reiki - Live (in-person)
Course Directors: Frank (Andy) A. Bock, D.O., Molly A. Feely, M.D., and Jacob J. Strand, M.D., Christopher A. Collura, M.D.
This 3 hour workshop offers an intensive overview of utilizing acupressure and reiki as non-pharmacologic symptom management options that you can utilize in your palliative practice. We will discuss the rationale behind these treatment options, how they work, what symptoms they can target and practical tips on how you can easily get trained to provide these interventions in the inpatient or outpatient setting. We will review our experience adding these modalities to our own practice --- the benefits as well as the pitfalls.
