Dr. Mike PrebegThis article examines the relationship between thoracic anatomy and patient safety in acupuncture practice, with a specific focus on pneumothorax risk. Using current literature and clinical anatomy principles, it highlights why a three-dimensional understanding of the thoracic cage is essential for safe needle placement. The discussion emphasizes anatomical variability, high-risk regions, and the role of ongoing education in reducing preventable adverse events within regulated practice.

Dr. Brendan Androsoff
Before taking this course [FIFA], I struggled to find a consistent method for auditing functional movements in patients and obtaining repeatable results when the patient wasn’t in pain or had a specific issue. This course has enabled me to adopt a systematic approach, affecting the neurology and neuromuscular system, and achieve the immediate, repeatable results I had been seeking when treating dysfunction. I highly recommend this course to gain the foundation to build your skills, confidence, and patient base to excel in your career.

Working here in Finland I heard about Mike from a few professional hockey players. The encouraged me to go and learn from Mike. Through working with mike I learned a lot about how to assess and treat professional athletes and how to use neurofunctional acupuncture and soft tissue techniques to get amazing results. FIFA made a big difference in my business, better results makes for more patients.

Taking Mike's FIFA course has greatly contributed to my practice and I truly believe it has helped set me apart in my thinking and application of functional assessment and treatment strategies. I am able to get a more solid picture of what is going on with my patients, I am seeing results quicker and gaining so much more patient satisfaction, which has led to increased referrals and a busy schedule. I've been able to grow my practice and have been given the opportunity to work with professional and amateur athletes, which has always been a goal of mine as a physio. The positive changes extends beyond the courses Mike offers. He cares about the practitioners and encourages us to be our best inside and outside the clinic.
Dr. Taran Ohson
The beauty of the course is in the simplicity. The model helps clearly compartmentalize issues of Neuro - MSK complaints and helps piece the global dysfunction for treating.
Before this course, I was a clueless student going through the motions hoping school would answer my questions. Now that I have taken the FIFA course, I feel extremely confident to begin clinical practice because I have a systematic approach to assess dysfunction. Moreover, having access to the online portion to constantly review was extremely helpful in the learning process.
I highly recommend this course to any hands on practitioner who wants to truly elevate their game!
