Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses gentle but firm pressure on specific points of the body to restore balance and encourage the natural flow of energy, or Qi. Much like acupuncture, acupressure works with the same network of meridians and acupoints, but instead of needles, it relies on the hands, fingers, elbows, or specialised tools to stimulate the body’s healing response. By releasing blockages in the energy pathways, acupressure can help relieve pain, reduce stress, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It is particularly effective for common complaints such as headaches, tension, fatigue, digestive discomfort, and anxiety, while also promoting a deep sense of relaxation.

The strength of acupressure lies in its holistic approach, as it not only addresses specific symptoms but also considers the wider imbalances within the body that may be contributing to them. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, with pressure points carefully selected to support overall wellbeing. Many clients find that acupressure leaves them feeling lighter, calmer, and more energised, with lasting effects that improve both physical health and emotional balance.

With a history that spans thousands of years, acupressure remains one of the most accessible and effective forms of traditional therapy. It requires no needles, medication, or invasive techniques, making it a safe and gentle option for people of all ages. Whether used as a stand-alone therapy or alongside other treatments such as acupuncture, massage, or herbal medicine, acupressure offers a powerful yet soothing way to restore harmony to the body and mind while supporting long-term health.
