How Does This System Work?

It has been scientifically determined that human beings are actually unique bio-energetic systems. For thousands of years, Oriental Medicine has acknowledged that there is a vital life force that flows through all things which is called "Qi", in the west it is often referred to as "energy". Energy (Qi)
flows along pathways in the human body, which are related to the organs and the tendo-muscular system. When the balance of this energy is disturbed due to either trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, hereditary conditions, environmental factors, or excessive emotional issues, pain or illness results. Oriental Medicine focuses on correcting these energetic imbalances by breaking up any obstruction and encouraging an even flow of Qi, which stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself.
