Seated Acupressure

Acupressure treats the body as an energy system and works to relieve a person’s individual symptoms; by identifying and releasing ‘blocked’, or ‘congested’ energy centres in the body.

These ‘energy centres’ are also called ‘acu-points’. These energy centres, or acu-points are found on energy ‘pathways’ called meridians, as with traditional acupuncture, and their ‘condition’ is seen to be central to all treatments.

Physical pain or discomfort is seen as being caused by the blockage of these acu-points, or meridians. Any congestion of these meridians or acu-points can also affect an individual’s emotions and they may experience anything from anger to frustration, or irritability.
