Acupressure
Acupressure
Acupressure, which originated in China over 2,000 years ago, is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It is used in Tui Na to stimulate the meridians and organs when needed.
​
Acupressure is based on the same principles as acupuncture, but instead of using needles, it uses finger pressure and deep focused Qi Transmission to stimulate the body's meridians, or energy pathways. This helps to improve circulation, reduce tension, and promote relaxation throughout the body.
​
The history of Acupressure dates back to ancient China, where it was used as a form of healing therapy. Over time, Acupressure techniques were refined and incorporated into TCM, where it is still widely used today.
​
One of the key benefits of Acupressure is its ability to alleviate pain and discomfort. By applying pressure to specific points on the body, Acupressure can help to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and release tension, which can help to alleviate pain and promote healing.
​
Acupressure is also effective in treating a variety of other conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, digestive disorders, and headaches. Regular Acupressure treatments can also help to boost the immune system and promote overall well being.
