DR. TAN'S BALANCE METHOD 

 

 

Dr. Tan’s Balance Method is a powerful and elegant system of Acupuncture known for delivering rapid and lasting results. Grounded in the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and refined through decades of clinical practice by the late Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan, this method uses a unique approach to balancing the body’s energy pathways—often bringing immediate relief from pain and restoring harmony in both body and mind. What sets the Balance Method apart is its use of distal needling, where Acupuncture points are chosen far from the site of discomfort. This allows the practitioner to treat a wide range of conditions—especially pain, inflammation, and internal imbalances—without needing to needle directly into the affected area. The results are often fast, clear, and deeply therapeutic.
