The role of acupressure has been paramount in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. Acupressure is a method of sending a signal to the body to “turn on” its own self-healing or regulatory mechanisms. Acupressure helps to correct functional imbalances and restore the flow thus returning the body to a more natural state of well-being.
