Acupressure

Acupressure is based on an Oriental philosophy that good health develops when qi energy, the life force that flows within us, moves unobstructed through meridians, or energy pathways in our body. In acupressure, blocked energy points are simulated or dispersed using finger of hand pressure instead of needles as in traditional acupuncture. For definitions of the various forms of acupressure, see "Jin Shin Jyutsu," and "Shiatsu."
