At this point, the doctor just gets him set up and then just lets us vibe.

I went to see the local acupuncturist about my sore shoulder today and he was, ‘Hmm, yes. That muscle is stiff. Ah, so is this one. My goodness, that is also tight…’
Long story short, I was lying there for an hour looking like Lin Beifong.

Has anyone out there with chronic pain had relief from acupuncture? I'm trying it today to see if it helps with my fibromyalgia symptoms. Fingers crossed!

I use the word acupuncture in the sense of revitalising the clogged energy of a site. Here is a place that can now be seen as an artefact in the manner of a pyramid, labyrinth or catacomb, at the intersection of geology and human ingenuity. It can help us tune into our own body-response to a particular built habitat. I consider all architecture as the second body.

My fiancée @aorryn47 is an acupuncturist and will just start massaging and palpating my muscles sometimes when we’re cuddling.
Today we’re sitting outside in camping chairs to get outdoors time and they started rubbing my calves. Instantly they were like, “What the fuck! Why are these muscles so tight, you can’t even be walking around! It’s like- it’s like a dry roast!!!”
I started laughing and protested and after they repeated it several times I cried, “Stop calling me a dry roast!”
A nearby neighbor heard and looked over in confusion as @aorryn47 started digging a knuckle into my tight tight muscles and I writhed in discomfort.

A system that maps different body parts to points on the hand. It is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture therapy, which utilize a holistic approach to promote health and wellness.
The hand is a unique part of the body in that it contains numerous energy channels, or meridians, that correspond to specific organs and functions in the body. These channels connect the hand to different body parts and stimulate the flow of energy or "Qi."
