It has developed over the years to deal with the specific conditions that the human body experiences before and after exercise and injury. When injuries to muscle tissue occur the fibres often heal misaligned. Our muscles are covered by a layer connective tissue called fascia. This fascia covers all the individual muscle fibres, the larger bundles of muscles and the whole muscle groups. Normally, when covering healthy, moving muscle it is a soft, gel like substance.

Practitioners who adhere to traditional beliefs about acupuncture believe that when Qi cannot flow freely through the body, this can cause illness. They also believe that acupuncture can restore the flow of Qi, and so restore health. Acupuncture is one of the safest medical treatments, both conventional and complementary, on offer in the UK.
