Acupressure therapists are part of the growing alternative and complementary medicine community, and are gaining leeway in the field of massage therapy.
Offering an essential service of the unique Oriental medicine system, acupressure therapists provide natural bodywork therapy to patients using the hands, elbows, knees and even bare feet. Applying gentle pressure techniques to acupoints (based on acupuncture and meridian therapy), acupressure therapists attempt to balance the Qi (energy flow) of the body to restore equilibrium. In doing so, harmony is returned to the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual states of the patient.
Some of the many health benefits that acupressure therapists offer to clients are relief from depression, musculoskeletal problems, headaches, allergies, digestive issues, and stress, among several other common health disorders.
