More benefits of acupressure
Many people try acupressure for the first time to manage symptoms of a condition, such as:
The points used in acupressure massage exist among a network called meridians, similar to the network of veins and arteries in the body. These meridians are basically the highways on which chi (life energy) flows throughout the body.
Sometimes pressure is needed at these points to clear up blockages and help ensure a healthy, balanced and harmonious flow of energy through the meridians. The points and meridians constitutes an extensive network throughout the body. Therapists use their knowledge of this network to address specific disorders and diseases in patients. One point, for example, called the Gallbladder Channel (GB20, Fengchi) exists at the base of the skull where the neck joins the back. Applying pressure there can help with a variety of ailments, from the common cold to high blood pressure. The Kidney Channel (KI3, Taixi) sits just behind the inner ankle. It is used to treat issues ranging from asthma to lower back pain. There are 14 main channels. Acupressure may be used alongside other styles of massage therapy or as a complement to another holistic treatment, such as chiropractic care. Acupressure is a natural proven way to treat illness.Science has proven that the meridians in the body exist although they are not physical as the veins and arteries are.
Scientific research from the Seoul National University confirms that they exist. North Korean scientist Dr. Kim Bong Han showed that our bodies had meridians in the 1960s. He found tubes just beyond the blood and lymphatic vessels. Present Korean researchers found that the Meridian System is our Primo Vascular system. They believe that it channels energy flow. Also, Chinese researchers have shown energy flow through the meridian system using fluorescent light. $77 for Acupressure (1 hour session) Call (or text) Renee 435-531-0366

History of Acupressure |
Acupressure was developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago, Acupressure is a form of Chinese medicine that applies pressure to key healing points on the body, stimulating a person’s self-healing abilities and encouraging energy flow.
Acupressure uses the same meridian pathways and pressure points as acupuncture. However, in acupressure your therapist will use finger pressure instead of needles to relieve pain and help clients achieve greater health. |
What to Expect
|
While in an Acupressure session, clients remain fully clothed during sessions and should not experience any pain from the finger pressure.
Acupressure sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, with some clients feeling better after a single session and others needing to return for a series of appointments. |
