A TCM examination is thorough, but noninvasive.  QuiYang will take a careful medical history, noting your body’s reaction to stress as well as your dis-ease symptoms.  Observation of color and form of the face and body, condition of skin and nails, posture and demeanor are some of the factors he observes.  Your pulse will be felt at three different organs.  Patterns of imbalance in your body will be assessed and Yang will choose the proper massage treatment for you.  He uses a combination of Anmo, Tuina, Acupunture pressure points, and Reflexology for treatment.
