Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that originated in ancient China and has been practiced for thousands of years. It is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involves application of pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). The underlying concept is that the body’s vital energy flows through meridians, and by applying pressure to certain points along these pathways, balance and harmony can be restored.
Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles to stimulate these points, acupressure relies on manual pressure applied with fingers, thumbs, or specialized tools. The pressure is applied to the points, which are specific locations where the Qi can be accessed and influenced. These points are often found along meridians and are associated with various organs and bodily functions.
Acupressure improves blood circulation, relieves from arthritis, reduces digestive issues, brings emotional stability and improves energy level through body and mind.
The technique of acupressure is generally considered safe when practiced by trained individuals and is well-regarded for its non-invasive nature, as Divine Oak Wellness Center offers skilled and specialized practitioners in the art of employing techniques rooted in the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
