    Areas of Focus for Acu Parents

    Due to the limited time available during the 2-day treatment period, there are some constraints on what the Acu Parents can address. You may choose from the following symptoms to focus on during your treatment:

    • Cardiovascular disease
    • Gastrointestinal disease
    • Headache
    • Pelvic pain
    • Sciatica

    If there are specific symptoms you would like to address and learn about, please let us know in advance. We’ll check with the Acu Parents to see if they can accommodate your requests during this course! Additionally, kindly note that due to the limited time available on treatment days and the collaborative learning environment, results may vary from person to person.

    Diagnostic Methods

    To provide you with essential tips and insights from their 35+ years of experience, the following core diagnostic methods will be included in most treatment plans at no additional cost:

    • Full Spine X-Ray
    • Blood Test
    • Tongue Diagnosis
    • Celestial Constitution Type Diagnosis
    • Physical Response Testing (Biofeedback)

    If necessary, additional or alternative diagnostic methods may be applied based on your primary symptoms at no additional charge.

    What to Wear

    Wear comfortable clothing to change in and out of, as you’ll be provided with patient attire during treatment. Please also bring your white doctor’s gown; if there's an opportunity to shadow the Acu Parents, you’ll need to wear it.

    Clinic Environment

    This program takes place during SEASUN Clinic's regular operating hours, so there may be brief interruptions as the Acu Parents attend to their other patients. If the patients are comfortable with it, you may also have the chance to shadow the Acu Parents during their treatments! 

    Feel free to share your course experiences on social media! We just ask that you respect others' privacy by not sharing any personal details. Parts of the course may be recorded for marketing to help future students, but if you'd prefer not to appear, just let us know, and we’ll respect your privacy.

We’ll be providing you with recommendations for accommodations and detailed directions on how to reach the clinic from Incheon Airport for your convenience.
