How can Acupressure help upgrade your massage?
Acupressure massage is a manual therapy technique that is used to relieve pain and muscle tension. Acupressure is performed using fingers gradually pressing onto key points around the body to stimulate pain relief and muscle relaxation. The acupressure technique is used on trigger points within muscles and soft tissues. A trigger point is a neuromuscular point where a muscle and a nerve meet together and cause irritation. This meeting place often causes pain when compressed and can lead to muscle spasms. When the acupressure technique is applied, pain is often reduced by interrupting pain signals to the brain and encouraging deep relaxation. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time.
