Acupressure is believed
to be the ‘mother of Acupuncture’ in that
it predates the use of needles to stimulate the body’s
energy flow. It has the same principles as Acupuncture,
but the pressure is applied directly to the Acupoints
of the body mainly by using the hands, fingers, thumb
or knuckles and sometimes by using a smooth, blunt
object. Stimulation of the body’s meridian system
by touch is perhaps one of the oldest healing systems,
and many other therapies use Acupressure techniques
including Shen Tao, Jin Shen, Do Jin Shen, Qigong,
Shiatsu and Tuina.
