A Practical Guide to

Acupoints
 By

Lotus Publishing

This exceptionally well-illustrated guide to the location and

properties of acupuncture points has been fully revised and updated,
and now includes all the channel points. An understanding of
acupoints is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for
bodyworkers. This user-friendly manual contains current,
comprehensive information that is equally useful for
physiotherapists, orthopaedic, medical, and paramedical
professionals. It also gives special emphasis on how shiatsu and
tuina therapists can best utilise point knowledge in their practice.
In keeping with convention, the authors give the precise anatomical
location of each point and illustrate it with a dot, along with
alternative locations where relevant. However, the book goes further
by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by
pressure, guasha, and other means.

In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment

via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment
positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation and
desired result. The book also documents the distribution of sensation
resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure
and needle application where appropriate.
