Acupressure

Acupressure originates from China and is the process of applying pressure to certain points on the body to promote healing and stimulate chi. Acupressure is very similar to acupuncture, in that, it uses the same pressure points to achieve results; however, it does not use needles, instead uses hands, elbows and other aids to massage the pressure points.

Acupressure is to treat stress and anxiety, relax the mind and body, promote circulation, aid in the removal of toxins from the body, provide pain relief, increase energy levels and overall feeling of wellbeing, and decrease labour pains.

Like other massages, an acupressure consultation will involve a discussion about any relevant issues, which is then followed by a relaxing acupressure treatment.
