Acupoint Therapy

Health - Massage

Acupoint Therapy is an extension of modern APM system (Akupunkt Massage), and it involves the stimulation of acupuncture points or meridians with a therapy stick. This differs from acupuncture which uses needles, acupressure or shiatsu which uses massage. Under the scientific standards of evidence-based medicine, there is insufficient evidence as to whether acupoint therapy is effective.
Acupoint Therapy focuses on bringing the yin and yang (parasympathetic and sympathetic) back into balance.
One form of treatment involves the stimulation with the therapy stick along a meridian. This causes vasodilation, thereby stimulating the meridian.
Another treatment method involves stimulating individual points, rather than a length of the meridian.
