Dishwashing Hands 5/5 (36)

Here’s a tip: Don’t graph your patient if their hands have spent the last few minutes in water. Allow me to illustrate. The other day I decided to graph my wife at home.

Tonification Squared 5/5 (46)

Today I’d like to address a question I’m often asked about the appropriate way to needle the acupuncture points that are suggested by the AcuGraph system. If you don’t use needles in your practice, this information is equally applicable to laser, electricity, or whatever treatment modality you use.
