On distal needling, aka “Finding the switches”
People ask us all the time why we’re not putting needles into where it hurts. (“You know it’s my knee that’s sore, not my elbow, right?”) This is a totally fair question!

It’s a safe, efficient and very effective way of practising that’s been used for thousands of years.
