Acupressure & Tui-Na Massage.
This is an ancient massage therapy involves rubbing and pressing on the body to treat common ailments. It has been used in China for over 2000 years’. It evolved alongside acupuncture and Chinese Herbalism, and became much more established in Japan around the 16th century under the name of shiatsu. In the early 20th century, practitioners of amma started borrowing knowledge and techniques from osteopathy and chiropractic and combined these with the traditional oriental body work system to develop acupressure. Today acupressure is a popular treatment all over the world.
How does it work?
Acupressure works on the body energy system. We know the body has 12 main energy channels called meridians, and the treatment has been described as acupuncture without needles. Acupressure involves different techniques to relieve pain and release the energy blockage causing your particular problem. The therapist treats your whole body using various methods for different areas. For example, he may pressure your back leg to relieve associated back pain, or use his elbow to stimulate points on the spine that relate to the chest, digestion or circulation problems. He will often rub and apply finger pressure to specific points to open up a blocked meridian.
