Principle of Acupressure therapy

Eastern medicine believes that balance is health; imbalance is disease and rebalancing is treatment. Eastern scientists believe that by changing the ‘diet’ and ‘lifestyle’ of an individual with one involving natural herbal or plant products, imbalance in the body can be treated. Acupressure massage or Acupuncture scientists have identified points on the body that, when stimulated, could increase or decrease 12 sets of interdependent functions, and thereby help in correcting imbalance.

How Acupressure therapy works

According to the Dermatome theory, stimulating the bundle of nerves emerging from between the two vertebrae affects all the organs that are supplied by that bundle of nerves. For example, acupressure massage on either side of the spine at the chest level has beneficial effects on the heart and the lungs, points lower down correct imbalances of the stomach and intestines, and so on right down to the tip of the spine.

This therapy is particularly effective in treating backache, sciatica, knee joint arthritis, COPD and POCD, digestive disorders like acidity and constipation, and asthma. It helps reduce the tension in your shoulders, back, and legs, improving your quality of sleep, digestion, appetite, and ease of movement.

You can perform Acupressure massage on yourself by practicing a simple technique that requires two lawn tennis balls and a sock. This technique can be used not only to treat the organs in your chest, abdomen, and endocrine glands but also your arms and legs since it targets the nerves coming out from the spine and supplying the limbs.

Treating yourself to Acupressure massage therapy, supervised and performed by a trained specialist, will let health and well-being flow through your body. Most importantly, throughout the therapy ensure you pay attention to your body’s signals. Your body understands better if the pressure applied during the therapy is too much or too little and will prevent the occurrence of any harm.

As a result, acupressure therapy relieves pain, lowers stress, and encourages relaxation by focusing on particular pressure spots on the entire body. It provides a healthy, natural strategy for well-being, but further study is required to completely comprehend its advantages. However, a lot of people discover comfort and better health when they include shiatsu in their healthcare routines.
