On March 7 and 8, 2026, Punta del Este was the setting for the first day of an international training of excellence in Tok Sen Vibrational Medicine and ancestral massage. The great turnout motivated the opening of a second edition, scheduled for March 13 and 14, once again bringing together therapists and wellness professionals around two figures of worldwide recognition.<\/p>\n\n\nThe training was led by Phiane Duquet, a body therapist originally from Quebec, Canada, the sixth world champion of Kobido massage and an international reference in vibrational medicine and ancestral therapeutic techniques. Duquet taught the Tok Sen program, a millenary technique originating from northern Thailand that uses vibrations generated by wooden instruments to stimulate the body&#8217;s energy lines, induce deep relaxation, and release accumulated muscle tension. Her mastery of postural precision and ancestral techniques places this training at the highest level of educational offerings in therapeutic wellness on a global scale.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program also featured the outstanding participation of the consultant, trainer and international speaker Flavio Acu\u00f1a, a Uruguayan physiotherapist with more than 25 years residing in the Dominican Republic and an expert in wellness. Acu\u00f1a taught modules on the alignment of the four axes of the body and ancestral massage techniques, aimed at the development of practical skills and the elevation of the professional standard in manual therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/internacionales\/dueno-de-mansion-en-punta-del-este-fue-asesinado-por-su-ex-pareja\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Owner of mansion in Punta del Este was murdered by his ex-partner | De \u00daltimo Minuto | Dominican Republic News<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\nAcu\u00f1a&#8217;s career has recently been recognized on the most relevant stages of international tourism: at FITUR 2026, Madrid, he received the Recognition for International Tourism Cooperation awarded by ASICOTUR, and was awarded the Excelencias Tur\u00edsticas Awards in the Wellness category &#8220;Healthier Societies&#8221;.
