Major groups of points connected through channels, or meridians, begin or end on the hands and feet. The condition of any particular organ or system can be measured on these points. If stress values are above or below equilibrium, the system's extensive computer database will allow consideration of a wide range of possibilities that might help the client regain a healthy balance.
