Written for practitioners of acupuncture and acupressure, as well as shiatsu, tuina, and other bodywork styles, this manual delineates not only the precise anatomical location of a given point but also the larger area where pressure, "gua sha," and other techniques can be used. The book describes the optimum position for treatment according to the specific approach, describes the distribution of sensation that results from point stimulation, and distinguishes between the effects of needle application and pressure. Detailed anatomical illustrations and crisp explanatory text make this a useful addition to the "Concise Book" series.
