Acupressure massage therapy is an ancient form of healing that involves applying pressure to various points on the body to stimulate its natural self-curative abilities. Acupressure is performed by gentle non-invasive touch that effectively releases muscular tension and stress , increase circulation of blood and body vitality flow, strengthens resistance to diseases and promotes wellness.

Known also as Shiatsu, Acupressure massage therapy is intended as a healing method, not just a relaxation tool. It was founded on the traditional Chinese belief in Qi (pronounced chi). Qi is the natural energy that flows through all living things.

In traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, it is believed that this energy creates health and well-being, and if this energy flow is disrupted in some way (disruptions can be caused by many things, including negative thoughts, tension, and more), the body will react in illness and bad health.

Acupressure massage therapy is used to continue the proper flow of Qi and prevent illnesses, as well as to heal and restart the proper flow when it does get interrupted. The main goal of Acupressure massage is to bring the body back into its natural balance and let nature continue its course.
