This method is based on the knowledge of acupuncture and treats the entire neck, head and thorax region. Through stimulating specific points the energy flow through the head is positively influenced and painful symptoms are reduced. Like other acupuncture based methods the therapist works with distant asymptomatic areas in order to affect and treat the painful regions. This procedure also strenghtens the connection and interaction between inner organs and segmental areas.
The actual treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and is recommended to be combined with a classical massage or foot reflexology during a 60 minute session. It can be applied during an acute pain syndrom phase or as a preventive treatment to stabilise the body.
