Acupressure
Massage of Dallas
Acupressure
massage is an ancient Chinese healing art that uses the fingers to press specific key points on the
surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural curative abilities.
It is a way of accessing and releasing blocked or congested energy centers in
the body. Chinese cultures believe the points to be junctures of
meridian pathways that carry energy called chi. Western scientists have
also mapped out and proven the existence of these points using electrical
devices. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the
circulation of blood and the body's life force (sometimes known as qi or chi)
to aid healing. Acupressure massage uses the gentle but firm pressure of the
hands (and even feet). Acupressure massage can be effective in helping relieve
headaches, eye strain, sinus problems, ulcer pain, menstrual cramps, lower backaches,
constipation and indigestion. The healing touch of acupressure massage reduces
tension, increases circulation and enables the body to relax deeply. Be
relieving stress, acupressure massage strengthens resistance to disease and promotes
wellness. A tension headache, for instance, may be rooted in the
shoulder and neck are. Thus, acupressure massage focuses on relieving pain and
discomfort, as well as responding to tension before it develops into a
disease-before the constrictions and imbalances can do further damage.
The origins of acupressure massage are as ancient as the instinctive impulse to hold
your forehead or temples when you have a headache. Everyone at one time
or another has used their hands spontaneously to hold tense or painful places
on the body. Acupressure
massage therapy stimulates and activates the body's own energies to help fight
illness and restore harmony. Some of the acupressure massage points are
significant as they relate to a specific part of the body while others are
more general in the effect. Acupressure massage therapy can also be used
for general preventative health care. |
