The best care
Similar to reflexology, acupressure is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory which says that stress impedes the flow of the “vital energy” that exists in each human body. Reflexology is done mostly on the feet and hands while acupressure can be applied to all over the body.
Acupressure does not use needles or cups, but rather various massage techniques to activate or harmonise energy channels. It is good for muscular aches and pains, total relaxation of the mind and body, improve the functions of digestive and immune systems, boost circulation and more.
Precautions:
Some acupressure points are powerful inducers for labour, so if you are pregnant or is considering getting pregnant, consult with a knowledgeable practitioner before receiving a treatment.
Acupressure is not a substitute for necessary medical advice and/or intervention.
