Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice which has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). A trained Acupuncturist inserts in specific points on the skin a thin needle. It’s primarily used to relieve pain, but also has been used to treat other internal diseases. According to the theories of TCM, disease is caused by an imbalance in the body. Acupuncture can effectively restore the harmony of the body leading to optimal health.
Acupressure is a Chinese massage that uses specific techniques in different areas of the body and is often used in conjunction with Acupuncture. Acupressure is based on the concept of vital energy which flows through ‘channels’ in the body. During treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points or trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in those channels. Pressure may be applied by hand, elbow, or with various devices.
