In Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatment methods involve stimulating specific points on the body to directly access each organ system and improve its state. The AAT therapy takes this approach one step further by utilizing the points in a unique and innovative way that has been proven to lead to successful treatments.
The treatment points used are situated along the spine and correspond to the location of the Sympathetic chain, which is responsible for our body’s “fight or flight” responses. By targeting reactive organ systems through these points in relation to an offending substance, it’s possible to alter a defensive reaction, allowing for a healthier response.
At AAT, we understand that some people may be apprehensive about needles. That’s why our method utilizes a precision-based acupressure technique to access the organ systems, rather than needles. Our unique approach of addressing defensive physiology has proven to be highly effective in altering the state of the organ systems.
The AAT therapy has been developed as an Integrative Medicine and is offered by certified AAT practitioners who come from a variety of backgrounds, including Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Naturopathic Doctors, Osteopaths, Medical Doctors, Doctors of Physical Therapy, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants and Registered Nurses.
