What Is Accupressure Therapy?

Acupressure Therapy is an ancient Chinese therapy. It's been used to promote health and relieve pain, stress, and stress-related health problems for 25 centuries.

Acupressure Therapy healing works because it balances the chi (energy) flowing through your body's meridians (invisible, interconnected energy channels located throughout the body.

Stress, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can disrupt the flow of chi, creating blockages that can lead to disease.

Applying pressure to specific acupoints along the meridians breaks up the blockages, allowing the chi to flow and the body to heal itself.

There are over 360 acupoints located all over the body, close to the surface of the skin in small hollows, usually between bones. Each have specific effects on particular organs or body systems. Click here for accupressure charts

A Typical Session

Before your first professional acupressure treatment, the therapist will ask for your medical background and details about your diet and lifestyle, and details about the problem at hand.

Your treatment will take place on a therapy table where the therapist firmly presses or massages your acupressure points to stimulate them.

Treatments take approximately one hour. No oils or equipment are used. Some points may feel tender, and you may experience discomfort or coolness, but this generally passes quickly.

The number of treatments required depends on the issue, and may vary from weekly visits to seeing the therapist as needed. See your doctor if ailments persist.

If you're pregnant, consult your midwife or doctor before having a treatment.
