To Whom It May Concern:
I am Dr. Peter Y. Li, M. D., currently working as an Anesthesiologist in the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles area, California. Dr. Feng Xiao was one of my classmates of the medical school in Chongqing, China. I am very happy to write for him.
I can still remember our old time in medical school 20 years ago. Feng studied very hard not only with Western medicine but also Chinese medicine. He showed his great interests in Chinese medicine and demonstrated his profound understanding of the principles and mechanisms of Chinese medicine. I can recall some of his questions in our Chinese medicine class sounded so hard to understand and somehow strange to me. He was an excellent student in our class and always kept in the top 5 of our class in both Western and Chinese medicine during our whole school years.
Feng always likes to be challenged and it motivates him to achieve one success after another. After moved to North America, he has brought his acupuncture skills with him and treated many patients. He provides acupuncture service in Southern New Hampshire area. His patients basis has been accumulated rapidly.
There is no doubt that he would be a great doctor with many new achievements. I know that since he is not only a doctor with a high quality of training and countless hands-on experience but also a doctor who cares for his patients from his heart.
I sincerely wish he lived in LA area so my family and I could benefit from his care when we need to. But I have to admit that I consult with him quite frequently. His valuable advices have helped my family and me very much.
I am sure he will continue to make more and more success with his great effort and enthusiasm of practicing medicine and taking good care of his patients.

Definition of Terms used and Types of Massage
Swedish Massage – a system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints.
Deep Tissue – releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue, because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
Effleurage – is a stroke generally used in a Swedish massage treatment. This smooth, gliding stroke is used to relax soft tissue and is applied using both hands.
Friction – is the deepest of Swedish massage strokes. This stroke encompasses deep, circular movements applied to soft tissue causing the underlying layers of tissue to rub against each other. The result causes an increase in blood flow to the massaged area.
Petrissage (also called kneading) – involves squeezing, rolling and kneading the muscles and usually follows effleurage during Swedish massage.
Sports Massage – massage therapy focusing on muscle systems relevant to a particular sport.
Trigger Point Therapy (also known as Myotherapy or Neuromuscular Therapy) – applies concentrated finger pressure to "trigger points" (painful irritated areas in muscles) to break cycles of spasm and pain.
