A common modality, is an ancient art of healing
therapy that uses the fingers to press key points
on the surface of the skin and thus stimulate the
body's immune system to self heal. When stimulated,
these points relieve muscular tension, and promote
the release of endorphins-neurochemicals that relieve
pain.
Acupressure uses the same points and meridians (patterns
of energy flow) as acupuncture, but instead of needles,
treats with gentle, firm pressure of fingers and
hands. With acupressure, the person may remain fully
clothed, and suffer no side effects from drugs,
while experiencing a safe treatment.
It is an excellent way to balance the body and
maintain good health by reducing tension, increasing
circulation and strengthening the body's resistance
to illness.
