Abstract/Notes

Abstract: A pain relief technique is presented based on applied kinesiology (AK) manual muscle testing (MMT) procedures correlated with acupuncture meridian therapy principles. MMT procedures are used to identify a painful area and an associated acupuncture head point (AHP.) Tapping this AHP (by the doctor or the patient) coincident with the patient touching the painful area often results in dramatic pain relief and increased range of motion.
