How they work

One careful assessment, one precise point

Each consultation begins with a careful reading of the pulse. Based on that assessment, treatment is usually given at a single point, with one sterile, disposable needle — occasionally two.

Our practitioners look at your health as a whole, and will explain what they suggest before treatment begins.
