Acupuncture is a key-component of the Traditional Chinese Medicine system of healing that originated in China more than 2000 years ago. It involves stimulating specific points on the body, using a variety of techniques- most commonly hair-thin needles- to enable the free flow of life energy (qi) along the energy pathways in the body (meridians), which supports health and healing. In Australia, Acupuncture is influenced by medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea and other countries. Acupressure is a similar process to acupuncture, but uses pressure or massage to stimulate the flow of qi.
