Overview

Acupressure is a massage therapy technique that is based on the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that applies pressure using thumbs and fingers to mobilize chi or life force energy at specific spots on the body called acupressure points or acupuncture points or acupoints. Western science has also revealed that these acupoints are associated with body meridians. It stimulates and activates the body’s own healing energies to prevent illness and disorders and also helps to promote energy flow to a specific part of the body by enabling it to heal more quickly in a natural way.

How does it work?

Traditional Chinese Medicine has over 800 vital energy points that run over body meridians called Qi (or Ki), from head to heel. The human body comprises 14 meridians that help to transmit energy throughout the body. These meridians meticulously mapped out by Chinese acupressurist who begins at the fingertips, connect to the brain and specific organ of the body. The acupressurist may use his elbows, knees, or even feet for doing certain treatments and may sometimes use a special blunt instrument to cure certain disorders in a natural way.
