  • Acupuncturist

    Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing art, practiced for more than 2,000 years. Acupuncturists specialize in a group of treatments that fall under the general category of acupuncture. Many people assume that acupuncture is only about needles, but in reality there are numerous treatment techniques used. There are many different styles, including Chinese Japanese and Korean Acupuncture, but all have a common goal: the restoration and maintenance of good health and prevention of illness. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Oriental Medicine which views perfect health as a state of balance. Disease and illness are caused when the Qi, or vital energy of the body, is in imbalance. Stimulating certain points on the body corrects this imbalance and shifts the body towards balance, reducing pain and restoring good health. In recent years acupuncture has gained wider acceptance and use in Western cultures, and is often recommended by mainstream physicians as an adjunct treatment. With an increasing focus on complementary and alternative medicine, acupuncture is a career that is likely to see significant growth.

Model makers can also work on film sets as part of the special effects team.
