Acupressure
Used for thousands of years in China, acupressure applies the same principles as acupuncture to promote relaxation and wellness. Acupressure is often thought of as simply acupuncture without the needles.
Traditional Chinese medical theory describes special acupoints, or acupressure points, that lie along meridians, or channels, in your body. These are the same energy meridians and acupoints as those targeted with acupuncture. It is believed that through these invisible channels flows vital energy -- or a life force called qi (ch'i). It is also believed that these 12 major meridians connect specific organs or networks of organs, organising a system of communication throughout your body. The meridians begin at your fingertips, connect to your brain and then connect to an organ associated with a certain meridian.
What can you expect in a session?
Again this can be a standalone treatment or incorporated into a unique set of treatments for you in a session.
Acupressure is a gentle technique where practitioners use their fingers, palms, elbows, or special devices to apply gentle pressure to acupoints on the body's meridians. Acupressure Therapy stimulates the body's circulatory, lymphatic and hormonal systems and helps the body's immune system. You will also learn how you can do this at home.
