Like Acupuncture the Chinese discovered that naturally patients would achieve relief by simply pressing certain points of the body. They observed that not only did it relieve pain on the afflicted part but it also had beneficial effects on parts of the body seemingly unconnected with the pain and the pressure point. Acupressure uses gentle but firm pressure on a series of points where tension and blockages occur on our natural meridians. These are the pathways along which healing energy flows. The aim is to bring about relief, balance and energy flow in the patient. Many physical tensions are blocked emotions held in the body. Acupressure releases ‘chi’ energy to correct imbalances, tensions and stresses that build up in the body that adversely effect the health and well being of the patient.
