Acupressure is a form of alternative medicine that uses pressure applied to specific points on the body to relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. It is based on the same principles as acupuncture, but instead of using needles, acupressure uses the fingers or other tools to apply pressure.

During an acupressure treatment, you will typically lie down on a comfortable table. The acupuncturist will use their fingers, thumbs, or other tools to apply pressure to specific points on your body. The pressure may be firm but should not be painful.
