The practitioner scans the body of the patient with the palms (roughly 2 to 6 inches [5 to 15 cm] from the body) from head to toe. While assessing the energetic biofield of the patient, the practitioner focuses on the quality of the qi and areas of energy obstructions, redirecting the energy to harmonize and move. Chiropractic therapy involves balancing structural and functional imbalance through spinal manipulation. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning moxa, a cone or stick of dried herbs that have healing properties, on or near the skin. Reiki therapy transfers "universal life energy."
