Is This Webinar For You?
Aphasia is one of the most challenging consequences of stroke — where patients lose the ability to communicate despite preserved awareness and intention.
This webinar explores how advanced neurological Acupuncture — developed and refined in a hospital setting through Dr Clayton Shiu's Nanopuncture system — can be applied to support speech recovery and functional brain rehabilitation in different forms of aphasia. It bridges classical Chinese medicine, the modern neuroscience of aphasia, and advanced needling techniques researched in Tianjin. Hosted by Dr Scott Ling and conducted in English.
