It uses massage, acupressure, traction and manipulation techniques for the prevention and treatment of diseases. It can be used to help promote and restore normal circulation of energy (Qi) as well as align and restore the normal physiologic relationships of the bones, muscles and tendons to allow the body to heal itself and operate at optimal health.
