Abstract
Motion Acupuncture (MA) is a novel acupuncture technique characterized by accurate insertion, special needling, and needle-retaining motion. It refers to that patients continuously carry out active or passive motions of the body under supervision of doctors, with needles inserted and retained in the acupuncture points throughout the session. The therapeutic points of MA are pain points, ashi points, pressure points, trigger points and nodules of sinews. MA is mainly to release the subcutaneous fascia by needling; the key point of this therapy is to carry out motions of the body with the needles' retention; and the key technologies are the muscle flexion and extension, stretching and resistance. MA has shown a good efficacy for pain caused by soft tissue injury and relevant visceral disorders. The main mechanism of MA is through the treatment of target points to release the relevant fascial chains, and through the fascial chain transmission to restore the balance of body structures, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
