Acupressure is a thousands-year-old form of massage therapy that involves applying pressure to certain points on the body to address ailments. It is generally done with loose fitting clothes on. However, can be done cloth off if preferred.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, people have meridians or channels throughout the body. Qi, which is understood as a life-sustaining energy force, runs along those meridians. Qi can become stuck at some points along the meridians, and the goal of acupressure is to keep the energy flowing using pressure at specific points. Naturally, the practice has many associated benefits. Acupressure is often used for pain relief. 

Acupressure could be incorporated in any massage sessions when needed.
