Pacific Symposium Is Just Around the Corner
Pacific Symposium has been an annual meeting of minds, uniting Eastern medical professionals from across the world since 1987. This world class conference brings acupuncture practitioners, massage therapists, students, and professors together to exchange industry information in a beautiful retreat setting at the Catamaran Resort and Spa in San Diego, California.
Pacific Symposium has consistently delivered cutting edge speakers at the forefront of the integrative health community, and this year is no exception. Giovanni Maciocia, Lillian Bridges, Arnaud Versluys, Shoji Kobayashi, Jeffrey Yuen, and Matt Callison are some of the widely respected experts who will present seminars and lead interactive workshops covering a myriad of timely Oriental medicine topics. From fertility, facial reading and diagnosis, Qi Gong, and aging, to traditional Tui Na massage, there will be something for everyone. Pacific Symposium is proud to present Pete Egoscue as this year's Keynote Speaker.
Egoscue will discuss how he developed his unique therapy method that relieves chronic pain, and encourages peak physical performance for the young, the old, the athlete, the non-athlete, the famous, and the infamous. Egoscue's method is based on the body's functional design - or posture. Known as "The Posture Guy", Egoscue is the author of six books and has been successfully helping people relieve themselves of chronic pain for over thirty years. We look forward to sharing another illuminating week with you at Pacific Symposium 2012!
