About Our Speaker:
Chad Bong, MS., L.OM, L.MT
Chad has loved sports his whole life. This love has been instrumental in him going to college, completing a masters degree in exercise science, learning massage therapy, going to acupuncture school, and finally specializing in orthopedic and sports acupuncture.
This specialization began while in acupuncture school as Southwest Acupuncture College, by starting an intense apprenticeship with Whitfield Reaves, which has entailed completing his apprenticeship program, helping him write his book (The Acupuncture Handbook of Sports Injuries and Pain), and assisting him while teaching nearly every class he taught for the next 7 years.
Over the last 9 years Chad has taught at Southwest Acupuncture College, WON Institute, and Tristate College of Acupuncture, classes include; sports acupuncture, physical assessment, clinical mentorship, and palpation. He has also taught continuing education classes on orthopedic and sports injuries.
Chad is also one of the founding members of the Sports Acupuncture Alliance and The PInpoint Performance Podcast. Both focused on helping to bring together and provide educational opportunities for the orthopedic and sports acupuncture community.
Chad currently practices at Philadelphia Sports Acupuncture and the University of Pennsylvania, where he tries to help his patients stay doing the sports that they love.
