On a daily basis we work with 5 different lines of treatments:

1 - Symptomatic treatment (just one of them is registered in this chart. We called it Myofascial System for Symtomatic Treatment). However, there are at least 5 to 10 different well known systematic systems with great result too)

2 - Origen Treatment (to affect the organs for diaper changes. When we are not in yourself the organs break into pathogenic relationships, then the symptoms become a message for us to change our vital life angle)

3 - Pericardium Treatment (to affect the actual mood and behaviour -stress, migraine, maniac depression, etc.)

4 - Extraordinary Meridiams (Dai Mai for balancing)

5 - Trauma Removal Treatment (when a personal trauma is holding the symptoms)

For best results:

Testing: 1 - Search for pain or weakness 2- Complete proper testing with all the muscles involved. 3 - Better from down up

Needling: 1- Insert the needles at the muscle motor center area.2 - Always search for symmetry 3 - Stimulate the needles with great harmony (to the respect of the patient's pain) 4 - Minimum needles as possible (not more that 3 to 6 at a time) 5 - Always treat a group of muscles and not separate unions.6 - For inflammation electro and for weakness only manual stimulation

Please be aware that using this direct treatment on the muscles address only the symptoms. Sometimes just by relieving the patient's symptoms a deep change might occur in their lives (hevabiour, attitude, decision taking), because in every information or weakness there are a lot of stagnated information. However, on some other occasions this system will not be sufficient. Then we will have to work with the organs to rule the symptoms from deep inside.
