The Origins of Acupressure

 

Acupressure is a time-honored healing technique rooted in ancient Chinese medical traditions, with a history dating back over 5,000 years to the origins of acupuncture. It combines this rich heritage with the wisdom of folk medicine and has evolved over time, spreading from China to Japan, and eventually to North America and the United Kingdom.


What to Expect from an Acupressure Session

Acupressure is a therapeutic touch technique designed to restore balance to the flow of "ki" or vital energy within the body. By applying targeted pressure to specific points, acupressure communicates distinct signals to the brain, influencing the flow of energy and helping to correct imbalances. This method is especially effective in reducing stress, making it a valuable tool for preventive healthcare in today’s fast-paced world.

Sessions are performed fully clothed on a massage table, and most clients describe a sensation of “relaxed energy,” which reflects the balance between revitalizing energy and deep relaxation that acupressure promotes. As your energy reserves are replenished, you will feel an enhanced ability to utilize your energy more effectively. Stress reduction is a natural benefit of this treatment.

The effects of an acupressure session can last anywhere from three hours to three days. Because acupressure stimulates energy pathways in new ways, clients often report feeling lighter, more relaxed, or experiencing sensations such as tingling, warmth, or emotional release. These responses are part of the body’s natural balancing process, though not everyone may experience them in the same way.


Acupressure Facial Rejuvenation

Acupressure Facial Rejuvenation is a unique and holistic facial treatment that combines targeted facial acupressure with organic skincare products to enhance, revitalize, and tone your skin. This specialized technique stimulates circulation and supports the lymphatic system to release tension, boost oxygenation, and deliver essential nutrients to the skin.

By promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity, facial acupressure helps reduce wrinkles, refine your complexion, and improve overall skin health. Acupressure is especially effective in releasing the tension that accumulates in the face, head, and neck from daily stress. As you unwind, the gentle release of these pressures leaves you feeling deeply relaxed.

While the results are not as immediate as Botox injections, acupressure offers a non-invasive, natural alternative that encourages the body’s innate ability to heal. The effects last longer, without the risk of side effects. For optimal results, sessions are recommended every 6-8 weeks.

Acupressure Facial Rejuvenation is available as a 60-minute standalone treatment or as a 30-minute add-on to another Acupressure treatment
