Acupuncture and Meridian Therapy, are rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine, a complete system of healing which has proven its effectiveness in that continent for at least 3,000 years. Acupuncture & Meridian Therapy have evolved over the centuries into separate and distinct modalities or "forms" in China, Japan, Thailand, etc. and more recently, in North America and Europe. Besides Acupuncture, some of the popular known Meridian Therapies, or Asian Bodywork Therapies, are Tuina (Chinese bodywork), Medical Qi-Gong, Acupressure, Shiatsu (Japanese bodywork), and Nuad Bo-Rarn (Thai massage and bodywork).
Meridian Therapy consists on the application of different types of stimulation to distinct acupoints in the body. In the case of Acupuncture, such stimulation is achieved by puncturing and manipulating these acupoints with fine needles. In the case of bodywork, such stimulation is achived by distinct pressures on these acupoints and gentle stretching of the channels or meridians where these points are localized. These meridians cover the body somewhat like the nerves and blood vessels. Working on an acupoint or meridian will have a predictable effect upon the natural vital energy (Qi) inherent within all living beings. These acupoints and meridians have been mapped in Asia for over a period of at least 3,000 years, and there are more than 1,000 known acupoints, 12 main meridians, and over 47 secondary meridians. In the past 4 decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these acupoints, and more recently, fascia research is confirming the structural meridian network described over 2,000 years ago.
