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.

Both practices target the same acupoints along the body’s meridian system. Acupuncture uses fine needles inserted into the skin, while acupressure uses physical pressure applied by a practitioner’s hands. Acupressure is non-invasive and suitable for those who prefer to avoid needles.

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.

You may experience soreness, dizziness, and bruising after an acupressure session. It’s normally advised not to have acupressure if you are pregnant. If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor before you book an acupressure appointment – they’ll be able to advise whether or not it’s suitable for you.
