What is Acupressure?
The roots of acupressure lie in Tradition Chinese Medicine where acupuncture points are stimulated using pressure instead of needles. The Chinese believe that energy which they refer to as 'Chi', flows through the body along channels known as meridians and that the maintenance of health is directly related to the flow of 'Chi'. If the energy becomes imbalanced; deficient, excessive or stagnant in anyway, then illness or discomfort may ensue.
Each meridian is connected to and related to a specific organ from which it takes its name, for example the liver or lung. Self healing is encouraged and health is maintained through the application of pressure to specific acupoints near the surface of the body.
What happens during a seated acupressure treatment?
You will be seated comfortably in a massage chair and the treatment is performed through light clothing. The Japanese developed a seated massage technique which they called Anma whereby a specific kata sequence is followed to stimulate over sixty acupressure points. It is a very revitalising and toning treatment which relaxes tense muscles, increases blood circulation, boosts immunity and promotes a sense of wellbeing. Massage and stretching techniques are also used to enhance the therapeutic outcome.
How long does the treatment last?
The treatment lasts for 30 minutes and costs £25. A FREE consultation is carried out before each treatment.
How many treatments are recommended?
One treatment will definitely be beneficial bringing to you a sense of wellbeing and producing some physical benefits where required. However best results come through having between 4 - 6 treatments at weekly intervals allowing the therapeutic effects to build up cumulatively, producing long-term benefits. Thereafter monthly treatments are recommended to maintain optimum health and wellbeing.
