The Body
Meridian System

Chinese medicine (TCM) is a whole-body system that looks at balance and flow rather than just single symptoms. Rather than treating only the sore spot, it asks: where did this imbalance start, which systems are overloaded, and how can we restore steady energy so the body can heal itself?

Meridians are the body’s energy routes… like invisible highways that link organs, tissues and acupoints. When these routes are clear, organs work well and the body runs smoothly. When there’s a blockage or imbalance, things like pain, poor digestion, low energy or poor sleep can follow. Working with meridians helps Lian find and treat the root of the problem.

What are meridians and
why do they matter?

How does acupoint work affect the meridians?

Instead of focusing on a pill for each symptom, Lian uses targeted acupoint therapies and manual techniques to restore flow along the meridian routes. Stimulating specific acupoints helps:

  • reduce local tension and inflammation,

  • improve circulation and lymph flow, and

  • rebalance organ-related energy patterns that affect digestion, sleep and mood.
    The result is practical, gradual improvement rather than a quick, temporary fix.

What does the treatment actually do?

In Lian’s practice the treatment is used to:

  • Help reduce local inflammation and cellular waste

  • Ease tight, hardened tissue and muscle knots

  • Improve fluid movement and local circulation

  • Remove blockages along meridian routes to encourage better energy flow from related organs

 

The goal is to support the body’s self-healing process in a gentle, non-invasive way.

How does this fit with modern anatomy?

Recent understanding of the body’s fascia network and bio-electrical signals maps neatly onto the meridian idea. Fascia connects muscles, organs and nerves; when it tightens, it can interrupt flow and cause pain. Lian blends classical TCM diagnostics (pulse, tongue, meridian reading) with fascia awareness and inflammation management to make treatments both traditional and evidence-informed.

How does Lian combine acupoint therapy with other therapies?

Lian often pairs ultrasonic acupoint massage with acupoint stimulation, therapeutic massage and practical nutrition advice. She uses a holistic approach: the ultrasound helps free blocked areas, acupoint work restores energy flow and nutrition supports longer-term healing.

What does Lian look for in a session?

Lian’s first priority is finding the pattern behind your problem. In a typical first visit she will ask about:

  • your main complaint and medical history,

  • digestion, sleep and stress patterns,

  • posture and movement, and

  • places of tension or numbness.
    She then uses pulse and tongue checks plus a brief physical/fascia assessment to map the meridian and mechanical issues to address.

Which conditions can meridian work help with?

Meridian-based care commonly helps with:

  • chronic muscle tension and back/neck pain

  • digestive complaints and reflux

  • stress, anxiety and poor sleep

  • headaches and migraine patterns

  • long-term inflammatory conditions

If you’re unsure whether

Is it safe and does it work with other medicine?

Yes. Treatments are non-invasive, tailored to comfort and delivered with sterile technique where needed. Lian works alongside conventional care and will coordinate with your GP or specialist when appropriate. She also checks for specific contraindications (for example certain implants or pregnancy) before starting.
