Acupressure, like acupuncture, uses pressure point locations to manipulate Qi (energy) that flows through the energy pathways inside of your body. In traditional Chinese medicine, these pathways are known as meridians.

When pressure is applied to the pressure points it triggers a variety of effects on your body and mind. This form of alternative medicine is believed to be an effective way to decrease stress, reduce pain and tension, boost circulation and improve the immune system.
