Acupressure DefinitionA traditional Chinese medicine technique based on many of the same ideas as acupuncture but without the use of needles. It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body, (which may be far distant from the symptom), to bring about relief, through greater balance and flow of the energies in the body. Practitioners may be called "acupressurists." Acupressure PurposeAcupressure massage performed by a therapist can be very effective both as prevention and as a treatment for many health conditions, including headaches, general aches and pains, colds and flu, nausea, arthritis, allergies, asthma, nervous tension, menstrual cramps, sinus problems, sprains, tennis elbow, and toothaches, among others. Acupressure points can also be stimulated to increase energy and feelings of well-being, reduce stress, stimulate the immune system, and alleviate sexual dysfunction.
