Utilizing the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) meridians/channels in the body, acupressure is a gentle form of rebalancing energy in the body. Specific points on the body have a specific function in Chinese Medicine - for example, pain relief, movement of blood/circulation, energizing, calming, etc. When an acupressure treatment is used, any or many of these benefits can be experienced and enjoyed by the patient.
Since many people have fear or anxiety associated with needles (which are used in acupuncture), they are more comfortable getting an acupressure treatment rather than an acupuncture treatment, since acupressure feels more like a gentle massage. Either acupuncture or acupressure can provide very similar benefits; however, more sessions of acupressure are generally needed to achieve the same long-term effects .
Stress-Relieving Acupressure
A 1-hour session offers gentle relaxation throughout the body to ease tension and promote relaxation for the body and mind. Acupressure points are used on the lower feet, legs, arms, face and head to help re- balance the entire body. This treatment is great for anxious, nervous, or exhausted individuals looking for a relaxing and re-generating treatment/experience.
