What is Acupressure?

Natural Relief

Acupressure is a method of preventative care and assists healing . It is a hands-on approach using specific points along myofascial lines/ meridians. Holding 2 or more points simultaneously communicates to the brain to relax the area at a unique pace for each individual. Adding joint movement can facilitate tension release to aid in the space and movement of areas of stagnation/ congestion/tension.

The ultimate goal is that this feeling lasts!
