Acupressure
is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique derived from acupuncture.
It is applied to acupuncture points (14 channels) by the finger, fist,
palm, elbow, and guasha (water buffalo horn). We use a finger or guasha
to stimulate or rebalance the yin and yang on each of the acupoints and
fist, palm, and elbow to rebalance the 14 channels on the body. Then,
acupressure, stretching, and realignment are combined into what we call
tui-na. Tui-na is very deep tissue body work and good for any type of
pain related physical condition and blockage of energy and blood in the
body. Shiatsu and jin shin do were derived from tui-na and acupressure.
Acupressure is good for neck, shoulder, lower back, sciatica and even
headache pain, as well as a lot of other bodily pain problems. For example,
if you have lower back pain, acupressurists already know the accupoints
and can work on the specific points to bring relief. |
