What is Acupressure?

The beautiful thing about acupressure is that as you learn techniques you can apply many of them to yourself without any assistance. Acupressure Academy offers a variety of free educational materials including articles and videos. 

Acupressure was developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. It uses the fingers to apply pressure to key healing points.  Acupuncture and acupressure use the same pressure points and meridians (energy channels) to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities.  Acupressure releases muscular tension and promotes better circulation.  It has been proven to be effective in pain relief, detoxification, and improvement in a wide variety of conditions.

Acupressure balances the body's energy systems improving health and quality of life.  Our lives can become out of balance due to stress, diet, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, and excesses. Acupressure helps balance the energy systems by directing energy to the areas of body that are deficient. This reduces stress and helps you relax.  Acupressure can help bring the body back into physical and emotional balance.  It has proven helpful in alleviating depression, anxiety, insomnia, allergies and many other conditions.  Balancing your body's energy systems also strengthens your immune system.
