Acupressure is a traditional healing practice rooted in Chinese medicine that applies firm finger, thumb, or palm pressure to specific points on the body (acupoints) along energy pathways (meridians). It works on the same principles as acupuncture but without needles, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting energy flow.

Acupressure is based around the belief that in traditional Chinese medicine our health is governed by the energy (qi) flow through certain channels (meridians) in our body. When the energy becomes blocked or unbalanced, we can suffer with poor mental or physical health. Acupressure works by applying pressure to specific meridian points on our body, allowing the qi to flow and restore balance. There are more than 650 meridian points (also known as acupoints) on the body.
