Acupressure is part of traditional Chinese medicine. Developed prior to the popularization of Acupuncture, acupressure has been practiced for over 5000 years. As a non-intrusive precursor of acupuncture, acupressure uses deep finger pressure applied at points located along a system of energy channels within the body called meridians. These points are thought to directly relate to organs and glands of the
body; constrictions in the flow of energy at these points may contribute to disease and discomfort. Acupressure stimulates these points to remove blockages, to increase the energy flow and to promote health and harmony in the body.
