Integrated clinical case
A real patient across eight sessions: assessment, plan, what worked, what had to change, and how it was closed.
How it starts
The last lesson before the exam. A real case followed over eight sessions, with the numbers from each visit and—what really teaches—the two moments when a course correction was needed.
The rest of the lesson opens with Tuina.
In this lesson you will learn
- Follow a complete Tuina case from assessment through discharge.
- See how each palpation finding translates into a decision for the session.
- Recognize the moments when a course correction was needed, and why.
- Manage the transition from the intensive phase to maintenance, and discharge.
