Acupressure is a branch of East Asian medicine which involves the stimulation of acupuncture points with finger pressure using the sensitivity of human touch, rather than inserting needles. This form of treatment is non-invasive and gentle.
Because acupressure stimulates the body’s natural self-healing abilities, it also works as a great preventative therapy. Generally, the effects of acupressure are less potent than those of acupuncture, and as a result more treatments are needed to get the same results.
Acupressure is ideal for children. It is gentle, safe, and effective for many conditions, including relief and prevention of colds and flu. Parents can also be taught self-help techniques to use for their child at home.
Acupressure is also suitable for the elderly suffering from conditions including arthritis, mobility problems, constipation, and poor circulation.
Certain acupressure points must be avoided during pregnancy. Be sure to tell your practitioner if you are or may be pregnant.
