Acupressure Therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine based on the same principle as acupuncture. It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body to bring about relief through a balance of life energy (Qi) and increasing circulation of fluids in the body. It is effective to relieve pain, reduce tension in muscles, improve circulation and promote deep states of relaxation.
