Felix Mann (10 April 1931 – 2 October 2014) was a German-born acupuncturist.[1] He devised the system known as Scientific Acupuncture and was the founder and past president of the Medical Acupuncture Society (1959–1980). He was also the first president of the British Medical Acupuncture Society (1980), and the author of the first comprehensive English language acupuncture textbook Acupuncture: The Ancient Chinese Art of Healing first published in 1962. In 1995, he received The German Pain Prize. Mann, who was based in England, also lectured internationally on medical acupuncture.[2][3][4] Mann distanced himself from traditional beliefs in the existence of acupuncture points and meridians.[5]
