Relieving Pain

Millions of people are in pain, searching for ways to find relief. Acupressure Therapy offers relief with no risk of harmful side effects. The self-care exercises are a drug-free alternative and are easy to learn and do at home.

Acupressure relieves pain, relaxes muscle tension, and balances the vital life forces of the body and the Chi, by using a system of Points. Joint and muscular pain tend to accumulate at these Acupressure Points.

Finger pressure on the Points releases both pain and muscular tension. Acupressure relieves pain directly through the release of natural pain-killing chemicals in the body, called endorphins, and indirectly through the effects of deep breathing and relaxation.
