Acupuncture and movement

The patient should lie down in a supine position while the practitioner presses down the lower lateral corner of patella and inserts the acupuncture needles under the patella at the area of the upper medial corner (the opposite side). The practitioner then switches direction by pressing down the lower medial corner of the patella and inserts the acupuncture needles under the patella at the area of the upper lateral corner.

The practitioner does a quick needling (without retaining) on both side and applies sliding /pitching / rolling of the patella. It is an effective way of lubricating patello-femoral joint. Acupuncture and movement of patella increase the blood circulation and lubrication. If you compare the friction in patello-femoral joint before and after Kinetic Acupuncture, you would feel the difference immediately.
