Acupressure Treatment

Acupressure: A Complementary Modality to Acupuncture

Acupressure is a modality similar to massage that uses the same meridian system and points as acupuncture. It is used to reduce pain and spasm, to promote relaxation and improved sleep.

When and Why We Use Acupressure Along with Acupuncture

Acupressure is one of the modalities used to complement or enhance acupuncture treatment. It may be implemented as an alternative to gua sha or cupping. Acupressure is most often used to work out a particularly tense muscle to prepare the area for acupuncture.
