Song Sisi had never had acupuncture before. Looking at the slender steel needles, she felt a little scared.
"Relax! It doesn't really hurt. It's just like a mosquito bite."
Li Xu reassured her, "This shoulder pain is a classic case of overexertion, causing qi and blood to stagnate locally. When things aren't flowing, you feel pain. I just need to use a technique that both tonifies and drains on a few points like Jianjing and Tianzong to clear your meridians and get your blood moving. I guarantee the pain will vanish."
Li Xu had taken acupuncture courses back in school, so he was still very proficient with the basic techniques of holding and inserting needles.
What he lacked was the diagnostic reasoning and the more advanced techniques.
Now, he had the theory and the techniques; all that was missing was practice.
Seeing the confidence in Li Xu's eyes, Song Sisi, though still a little scared, finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Alright then. Boss, please be gentle!"
