Acupressure Massage is an alternative medicine technique often used in conjunction with acupuncture or reflexology. It is based on the concept of life energy, which flows through “meridians” in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points, or ashi trigger points, with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices.
Jin Shin Do (“The Way of the Compassionate Spirit”) is a therapeutic acupressure technique which uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques. Jin Shin Do mixes acupressure, Taoist philosophy, and the ideas of Wilhelm Reich, and claims to be able to detect and purge “stagnant energy” from the body.
