Acupressure is a form of alternative medicine that involves the stimulation of specific points on the body to improve health and well-being. It is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and has been used for centuries in China and other parts of Asia.

​

Acupressure involves the application of pressure to specific points on the body using the fingers, hands, elbows, or other devices. The pressure is applied to the skin and underlying tissues, typically in a circular or rhythmic motion. Acupressure is believed to help promote the flow of energy (qi) throughout the body and can be used to alleviate a variety of health conditions, including pain, anxiety, and digestive disorders.

​

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the body has a network of channels, or meridians, through which energy (qi) flows. Illness and disease are thought to result from disruptions or blockages in this energy flow. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupressure is believed to help restore the balance of energy and promote healing.

While scientific evidence on the effectiveness of acupressure is still limited, many people find it helpful for managing various health concerns. It is important to consult with a qualified practitioner and discuss any health conditions before beginning acupressure treatments.
