Acupressure Massage is a traditional Chinese healing technique, thousands of years old. This technique is derived from acupuncture, and uses pressure, with the hand, fingers, elbow, or other devices, on acupuncture points rather than using the traditional needles, to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. You can experience tremendous relief and relaxation with this method. When acupressure points are pressed, they release muscular tension and help blood circulation and the body’s energy life force to aid healing. When Acupressure Massage is combined with gentle energy massage, such as Esalen Massage, the results are enhanced.
