A full body acupuncture model used with Tong Ren Therapy with one movable arm. The movable arm is for discing therapy and other techniques. This model has only the acupuncture points that we most often use within Tong Ren Therapy to allow for easier use. We have also printed a few of our "extra" points that are not commonly found on regular acupuncture models. All of the vertebral segments used within Tong Ren are clearly marked.
