Dear..........,

Thought you might be interested to hear that I am receiving a number
of reports about physio’s advertising acupuncture as distinct from dry
needling.

I wonder who is doing the quality control on the treatment ?

It seems the simplistic, prescriptive, point based nature of TCM and
lack of skills training is going to bite us on the backside.

All the Best,
Alan
