Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. An acupressurist works with the same points used in acupuncture, but stimulates these healing sites with finger pressure, rather than inserting fine needles. Using the power and sensitivity of the hand, acupressure is effective in the relief of stress-related ailments, in self-treatment, and in preventive health care. Acupressure can also be combined with massage to release tension, increase circulation, reduce pain, and develop vibrant health.
