Show Acupuncture Points: The Basics | Your Self-Treatment Guide
Acupressure
is a specific type of massage that relies primarily on using the thumbs,
fingers and palms to apply pressure to various points on the
body. Therapists may use various rhythms, pressures and techniques in the
practice. Shiatsu massage is a style of acupressure therapy.
By
applying pressure to specific points of the body, practitioners manipulate the
flow of chi (qi) energy in the patient. Acupressure points — or
acupoints — are locations on the body where chi may become congested or
completely blocked. Acupressure
massage is a natural holistic technique to address blockages that may be
causing additional health problems.
