Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying
pressure to certain meridian points on the body to relieve pain. The
human body has fourteen "meridians" that carry energy throughout the
body. These meridians start at the fingertips, connect to the brain, and
then connect to the organ associated with the specific meridian.
Acupressure deals with
all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit
as one, not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances
the vital life forces of the body.
Acupressure can help
with the following:
1. Relieve stress and
tension
2. Relax mind and body
3. Increase blood circulation
4. Aid in the removal of toxic wastes
5. Provide relief from head, neck and shoulder aches
6. Promote the healing of injuries
7. Increase energy levels
8. Increase overall feeling of well-being
9. Decreasing labor pains
The client lies fully clothed on a soft massage table while the
practitioner presses gently on points situated on various parts of the
client's body. The session is non-invasive and gentle. An average
session lasts for about one hour. However, most clients normally require
a number of sessions to complete a treatment
