What
is Acupressure?
Acupressure
is an ancient healing art developed
in Asia over 5,000 years ago that uses the fingers to press
key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's
natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed,
they release muscular tension and promote the circulation
of blood and the body's life force energy to aid healing.
Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture
employs needles, while acupressure uses gentle but firm
pressure.
Advantages
of using acupressure include
relieving pain, balancing the body and maintaining good
health. The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension,
increases circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply.
By relieving stress, acupressure strengthens resistance
to disease and promotes wellness.
Several kinds of acupressure are taught at the Institute
all using the same ancient trigger points. Varying rhythms,
pressures, and techniques create different styles of acupressure.
Shiatsu, for instance, the most well-known style
of acupressure, can be quite vigorous, with firm pressure
applied to each point for only three to five seconds, while
the Jin Shin style of acupressure gently holds each
point for a minute or more. We teach a variety of bodywork
styles along with massage on tables and floor mats. Our
graduates are encouraged to integrate hands-on techniques
for enhancing and individualizing their sessions.
