The therapist assesses how a muscle responds to different stimuli and from that response is able to identify where the problem or energetic imbalance is and how to correct it. The client is generally lying on a couch fully clothed while the therapist applies gentle pressure to an arm muscle (but can use any muscle) while asking questions to find out the "course of action" in order to achieve the clients goal. The energetic imbalances are identified and eliminated. This is done whilst the therapist holds acupressure points or uses other devices. It is a simple gentle and very peaceful experience.
