About your instructor

Dr. Truth Robinson — Doctor of Chinese Medicine

Truth practises across two Northern Rivers clinics — Ascend Acupuncture and Soult Physio — where Resonance Needling was developed to solve a recurring clinical problem: needling that relieved tension on the table but didn't hold.

Capped at 14 participants, this course is taught the same way Truth treats: hands-on, tested, and confirmed before moving on.

Can massage therapists attend?

Yes, with written confirmation from your insurer that your policy covers both dry needling and electropoint/electrical stimulation.

What do I receive?

A Certificate of Completion, printed workbook, resource folder and Pointer Excel II reference guide.

Can I claim CPD?
