Acupuncture is the one of the oldest forms of therapy in modern health care today. By increasing the flow in the body acupuncture, over thousands of years, has proven to promote the body's own healing powers. By removing the blockages in the body, communication through out the body is enhanced. The flow of a stream or a river can be slowed by driftwood or blocked with large trees or sandbars. Stimulation at these areas of congestion or poor communication will harness optimal healing.

It is recognised in current research that the presence of scar tissue is a major obstacle to returning an injury or weakness back to full function. Acupuncture is a superb tool to pierce the layers of scar tissue and gently removing the scarring, by either needling stimulation or placing heat on the end of needles to deliver warmth to the area.
