Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I'm trying to find the best approach to dealing with patients in pain. Have people on this list taken seminars from one or both of these? Which seemed to work best, Tan/Tung style or more of a muscular/PT style like Callison or Windfred Reeves? I have taken some of both, but would appreciate feedback. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've never heard of Callison but Richard Tan's method has totally transformed my practice and confidence in treating pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have never taken Callison's seminars, but I use Dr Tan's Balance Method for almost all of my practice. My first Tan seminar was while I was in school, and it worked so well I never felt the need to explore Callison's methods. Www.drtanshow.com has good info on Dr Tan's information. www.balancemethod.org is another excellent resource. The pain relief is incredible.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi Steve - I've taken seminars from both Matt Callison and Dr. Tan and would have to say that both were very enriching, practice-enhancing experiences. I've had some patients who benefitted more from Tan style treatments and others who were better served by Callison's deep muscular style of treatments. In other words, I'd recommend taking both if possible.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I´ve never taken a Tan course, but in my apprecticeship I do similar classical / energetic style training. Matt Callison´s course is, as someone mentioned, very enriching because he is highly respectful of CM and knows how to integrate his physical / non-energetic style successfulyl as a branch of classical needling. I recommened him. Hugo snydez99 <snydez99 Chinese Medicine Saturday, 1 March, 2008 10:26:48 PM Matt Callison vs Tan Pain Relief I'm trying to find the best approach to dealing with patients in pain.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 i've just had an hor d'eurve of a tan seminar. he has an interesting approach that many lacs swear by, but i believe it takes some time to develop the necc knowledge/clinical exp with it. matt taught at my acu college, pcom, so we all learn his tech. i've had great success with his motor points. the two are vastly different styles/approaches to tx. matt is grounded in west anatomy and terminology. to follow him one needs to be well versed in muscles, insertions and so on. i understand his seminars have evolved. his now does a lot of hands on demos with video monitors distributed around the classroom so everyone gets a satifactory view. students practice his needle tech in class. tan is an energetic approach of meridian therapy. he does a talking head style lecture peppered with lots of long stories and 'jokes' injected for entertainment 'value'. these stories can cause him to run long in the seminar. i had to leave early on the second day and missed the patient demos because he ran way overtime and i had to hit the road to travel home. kath On Sat, Mar 1, 2008 at 8:26 PM, snydez99 <snydez99 wrote: > I'm trying to find the best approach to dealing with patients in pain. > Have people on this list taken seminars from one or both of these? > Which seemed to work best, Tan/Tung style or more of a muscular/PT > style like Callison or Windfred Reeves?
