Its application are divided in 3 phases: Pre-Kinetic phase, acupuncture needling and balance taping medicine are applied to systemic, microsystemic or locomotor points to prepare soft tissue structures for physiotherapy by interrupting the pain-spasm-pain cycle and promoting the local blood circulation; Kinetic phase, physiotherapy is used during the stimulation of relevant acupoints to promote a synergistic effect and restore functional mobility and Post-Kinetic phase, biochips (bio stones) are taped over specific ear acupoints, determined by probing sites on the ear for tenderness.
