Acupressure
Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that uses gentle, sustained pressure on specific points along the body’s energy pathways (meridians). Similar to acupuncture but without needles, acupressure helps restore balance, release tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes. By stimulating these points, energy (Qi/Chi) is encouraged to flow more freely, improving physical, emotional and mental well-being.
