Acupressure is a form of therapy that uses various forms of pressure on the same pressure points and energy meridians used in acupuncture therapy. Acupressure, derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine practices, is an integral part of massage therapy, particularly with Thai Massage and Chinese Tui Na Massage. Jin Shin Do and Shiatsu are two forms of therapy that primarily focus on acupressure methodology. Other types of massage therapists also frequently integrate acupressure into treatment sessions. When pressure points, also called trigger points, are pressed physical improvements include blood circulation improvement and the release of muscular tension. These improvements are related to an adjustment and balancing of the body's energy grid. Acupressure therapy thereby aids in healing many disorders.
