Acupressure Massage

massage.jpgAcupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities.

When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing.Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles. While acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands.

There is a massive amount of scientific data that demonstrates why and how acupuncture is effective. But acupressure, the older of the two traditions, was neglected after the Chinese developed more technological methods for stimulating points with needles and electricity.

Acupressure however continues to be the most effective method for self treatment of tension related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of the human hands.
