Acupressure

Acupressure is a hands on therapy that is based in Chinese Medicine. Often the client remains fully clothed and the treatment is usually done on a massage table. Varying degrees of pressure are used on the body. Each practitioner has a pressure that they are comfortable using. Sometimes  light pressure is used and for others very deep pressure is used.  Chinese Medicine states that there are energy "chi" pathways throughout the body. The chi flowing well through out the body means good health and no symptoms. Impeded, blocked or stagnant chi will result in symptoms and a feeling of being unwell. The well trained acupressure therapist will work on increasing chi flow to the body therefore reducing or eliminating symptoms. Tension is reduced, circulation is increased and stress reduction is a result of treatments. Even without pain or discomfort having treatments can improve homeostasis. We can benefit by stress release and perhaps prevent some problems from arising.
