Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. It is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique, based on the same ideas as acupuncture, using the same points and meridians but with the physical pressure of fingers, hands or elbows, rather than needles. In acupressure, key points on the skin’s surface, are pressed, 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 energy (chi / ki) to aid the body’s own healing. Acupressure also tends to integrate various bodywork therapies: therapeutic touch, somatic work, healing imagery, energy psychology, and massage therapy techniques.
