Acupuncture is a relaxing method of healthcare which involves the placement of very thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to maintain a natural state of harmony.
Cups are applied to the surface of the body using suction created by heat, which loosens muscles, encourages blood flow, and sedates the nervous system.
After an application of oil or liniment, the skin is scraped with a smooth-edged tool using short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow.

The theory in Chinese Medicine is that "qi" (pronounced CHEE) runs along pathways, or meridians, in the body.
When qi is blocked or flowing improperly, pain or illness occurs.
Various therapies can help to stimulate the movement of qi thus alleviating pain or dysfunction and restoring health.
Your body is an integrated whole.
Along with your mind, emotions, and spirit, every structure in your body is an integral part of the whole, forming an interrelated system that is powered by life force, or "qi.".
