Traditional Chinese Medicine: Acupressure, acupuncture, massage, cupping, gua sha, auricular acupuncture and electric-stimulation of acupuncture points are all modalities that fall within the scope of TCM. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the world’s oldest medical systems and it is the true forefather of “holistic medicine.” This system asserts that health is determined by proper flow and balance of a person’s vital energy, or life force energy. This life force energy is thought to flow throughout the body along channels called meridians, and it is along these meridians that the points used in acupuncture and acupressure are found. Within TCM, there is an underlying belief that the wellness of mind and emotion is critical to the balance of energy and to overall health.
