What is the ideology behind it?

In the Chinese tradition it is stated that disease is caused by the disturbance or break in the flow of energy, known as Qi in the body. The practitioners stimulate the acupressure, or acupuncture points on the body to release the flow, allowing the Qi to travel along the channels or meridians of the body. Modern thoughts are that this treatment works along neurohormonal pathways, as the nerve is stimulated by the needle, messages are transmitted to the brain, which in turn releases hormones such as beta-endorphins. This improves the feeling of wellbeing in the patient and their pain threshold is raised and they feel better.

Make sure you book the ideal technician!
