The Traditional Acupressure is based on the principles of chi, which is a fundamental concept of the Traditional Chinese Medicine that energy flows through the fourteen meridians of the body. During Holistic Massage finger pressure is applied to a number of points along the body to relieve great amounts of tension and treat specific ailments. There are about 365 acupoints in total, although only 32 are used in Acupressure; each a delicate nerve ending which acts as valves to stimulate the flow of chi (energy) through the meridians (energy channels), and rebalance the body’s internal network. The key focus of this treatment is to harmonise the body and balance out the ‘Yin and Yang’ which are opposite, yet complimentary forces believed to underline all aspects of life. This compromises both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems, which is important for general well being and tranquillity.
The Science
The accumulation of toxins in muscle tissue causes stiffness throughout the body and puts abnormal pressure on the nerves, resulting in tension and lack of feeling, and blood and lymph vessels, which can affect both skeletal systems and internal organ functioning. Acupressure promotes natural self-curative abilities and removes energy blockages by diffusing the toxic build up that accumulates by applying pressure to the areas.
