| ACUPRESSURE |
Acupressure 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 or "qi" to aid
healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points,
but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses
the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet). 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.

There are also great advantages to using acupressure as a way to balance the body and
maintain good health. The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension, increases
circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply. By relieving stress, acupressure
strengthens resistance to disease and promotes wellness.
