Short introduction to acupressure:

Acupressure healing is a traditional Chinese medicine technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture. Acupressure healing involves placing physical pressure by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices on different acupuncture points on the surface of the body.

Acupressure aims to restore normal flow of life energy by means of finger pressure, palm pressure, stretching, massage and other techniques.

How acupressure works?

When an acupressure point is pressed, muscle tension is thought to yield to the pressure, enabling muscle fibers to elongate and relax, allowing blood to flow more freely and toxins to be released and eliminated. There are said to be 12 primary channels and eight additional pathways that circulate life energy through the body, maintaining the balance of yin and yang.
