Acupressure Massage
Therapeutic Acupressure Massage is a holistic therapy that aims to improve physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.  It has always been part of Eastern Cultures healing and promoting good health.  

It is a hands on technique which involves stimulating or moving the energy and blood flow within our bodies to counteract all types of conditions and ailments.  

An acupressurist is trained in the energy channels and how  they affect our bodies and in how to move the energy by using pressure on certain points on the body to promote health.
 

How does Acupressure Massage work?  

70 years ago Einstein brought us his famous equation E=mc2.  It has been stated, “this means that everything [including our bodies] is composed of energy”. Through trauma, cold, overuse, underuse, stress, postural habits and emotional holding, we carry tension inappropriately in our muscles.  This can obstruct the free flow of blood, the lymphatic system and decrease energy levels.  When this happens it can start affecting the surrounding connective tissue, tendons and ultimately puts strain on our joints.  Eventually there is restriction in the way we move our bodies, which eventually causes pain.  

Acupressure massage works by applying both deep and light pressure on specific areas and points (not necessarily directly where the pain or tension is felt) to move the blood, lymphatic vessels and energy with the aim to eliminate toxins, stimulate our bodies natural chemical production and the nervous system.  This in turn can release muscle / tendon tensions relieve aches & pains or emotional and other psychological issues.

How does it differ from other types of massage?  

When the energy channels become deficient, blocked or stagnant ill health can occur.  Hence why so many people are now turning to massage to promote good health.  If you are forced into leading a sedentary life possibly because of age or ill health a regular massage can benefit you.

However acupressure massage not only promotes good health but can also help alleviate all kinds of signs and symptoms and medical conditions.
