Acupressure is a type of massage where the pressure points are being worked out. It is usually compared to acupuncture and often called “acupuncture without needles”. In USA, Canada, Europe and Asia were made some clinical studies where was proven that can replace chemical treatments to alleviate several physical and emotional ailments.

Acupressure treatment helps to boost the metabolism, reduce cravings, regulate the body’s temperature, strengthen general vital energy, fight fatigue and treat headaches and nausea. On the emotional level acupressure has some effects too: it stabilizes a good mood and enormously decreases irritability, anxiety, tension and fear. This therapy is a good way to calm you harmony and mind and create the feeling of serenity

Acupressure does not involve any intake or mechanical manipulation. It has no side effects, and cannot overwhelm or flood your body. Acupressure’s core function is to increase your body’s own self-healing capabilities. This is what the future pratitioners are taught in the shiatsu schools.
