Acupressure
Acupressure is a therapeutic technique provided by KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic that involves applying gentle but firm pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural self-healing abilities. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupressure targets the same points used in acupuncture but without the use of needles. This non-invasive method uses the fingers, palms, elbows, or even special devices to exert pressure on acupoints along the body’s meridians.
The primary goal of acupressure is to restore balance within the body’s energy flow, known as “Qi.” By stimulating these acupoints, acupressure helps to alleviate tension, improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance overall wellness. It is particularly beneficial for those who prefer a needle-free approach to pain management and relaxation. Acupressure is a safe, natural, and effective therapy suitable for people of all ages, helping to relieve a variety of physical and emotional ailments.
