New Year Message 2026 to the Motion Acupuncture Community
Dear Motion Acupuncture Practitioners,
Happy New Year!
As the hands of time gently close the chapter of 2025, we step together into the promising dawn of 2026. At this moment of farewell and renewal, we extend our deepest gratitude and warmest wishes to each of you who cherishes Traditional Chinese Medicine and continues to refine the art of Motion Acupuncture.
Thank you for your unwavering trust, dedication, and companionship along this meaningful journey.
As we look back upon 2025, our hearts are filled with respect and deep appreciation. It was a year of remarkable growth and momentum for the Motion Acupuncture movement. Professor Decheng Chen traveled extensively across four continents, firmly rooted in the United States while embracing a truly global vision.
From North America—including the United States and Canada—to Europe, with visits to Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands; and throughout Asia, from Guangzhou and Beijing to Changchun and Xi’an, Motion Acupuncture made its first historic expansion into the Southern Hemisphere, taking root in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia.
Wherever he went, the work was met with enthusiastic reception and heartfelt support from students and practitioners alike.
Some of you arrived from demanding clinical schedules, others driven by a deep passion for traditional medicine, and many guided by the original calling to relieve human suffering. You gathered in the shared hall of wisdom that is Motion Acupuncture.
In your hands, each slender silver needle is more than a clinical instrument—it becomes a bridge connecting ancient medical wisdom with modern healing.
Together, we have witnessed countless moving moments:
In Sweden, a patient with years of frozen shoulder raised their arm after a single needle.
In Sydney, a lower back that had refused to bend for three decades regained motion with just two needles.
Your focused silence as you studied, the spark in your eyes at the first successful application, and the heartfelt joy you shared when your patients smiled in relief—these are the brightest stars illuminating our path forward.
In 2025, we achieved a major milestone in academic development with the publication of Essential Motion Acupuncture and the English edition of Motion Acupuncture Medicine. Following the release of Motion Acupuncture Therapy in 2020, these works marked a profound theoretical evolution—from a single therapeutic method to a complete medical system—establishing a comprehensive and structured framework for Motion Acupuncture’s theory and clinical practice.
At the same time, we successfully completed the five-season series of Motion Acupuncture online training programs, creating accessible and high-quality learning pathways that empower practitioners worldwide to study and apply the method with confidence and clarity.
Every breakthrough, every hands-on practice, and every exchange of ideas embodies your relentless pursuit of clinical excellence and your profound compassion for human life. It is this passion and dedication that breathe vibrant life into Motion Acupuncture, allowing this discipline—rooted in classical wisdom and enriched by modern innovation—to sow the seeds of health across an ever-widening horizon.
With its distinctive theoretical framework and remarkable clinical effectiveness, Motion Acupuncture is bringing ease of movement and renewed vitality to an ever-growing number of people. And you, dear practitioners, are the most vital messengers of this healing breeze.
By transforming knowledge into action, relieving suffering through refined technique, and soothing both body and spirit with compassionate care, you not only elevate your own professional calling, but also illuminate countless paths of hope in the lives of your patients. Every step of your progress and every moment of success stand as the greatest affirmation of our shared mission—and as a powerful force advancing the future of external therapeutic medicine.
Looking ahead, the first light of the new year already illuminates our shared journey. The ocean of medicine is vast and boundless, and the pursuit of health knows no horizon. We look forward to continuing this path alongside you, cultivating the fertile ground of Motion Acupuncture with dedication and care.
We remain committed to refining our educational programs, sharing the latest research insights and clinical experience, and building ever-stronger platforms for professional exchange—so that you may advance with greater confidence, stability, and reach on your clinical path. Please know that your growth is our greatest motivation, and your support is our most treasured reward.
As the new year unfolds and all things renew, may we in 2026 continue to take the needle as our vessel and intention as our sail, journeying together across the vast sea of health—one filled with both challenge and hope. We will further deepen collaboration with relevant institutions at home and abroad, expanding the reach and impact of Motion Acupuncture.
May the wisdom of this art, guided by your skillful hands, bring healing to many more who are in need.
May your professional journey grow ever richer and more radiant through this calling.
And may the shared vision we pursue—“supple tendons, aligned bones, and free-flowing Qi and blood”—shine into the lives of countless people.
With sincere gratitude and best wishes for the New Year.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your continued companionship and support. May the New Year bring you and your families good health, professional growth, harmony, and success in all that you pursue.
With confidence and hope, let us step together into the bright and promising future of 2026.
With our warmest New Year wishes,
Motion Acupuncture Education Team
