''That all sounds very much like energetic medicine. So are you able to elaborate on that? Does this relate to the standard Western medical curriculum in any way?''
I said nothing about 'energetic medicine.' What I said was that massaging or applying needles to pressure/acupuncture points is thought to stimulate the central nervous system/signals to the brain releasing chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, etc, thus stimulating the body's innate healing abilities.
