Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice, with it's origins from thousands of years ago.

There are over 1,000 acupuncture points on the body, each lying on an invisible energy channel, known as a meridian. Each meridian is associated with a different organ system.

Acupressure

Acupressure (Chinese -Tui na) is an alternative medicine technique often used in conjunction with acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through meridians in the body. Physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points or ashi trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, elbow, or with various devices. During an acupressure session, you lie on a soft massage table, fully clothed, as the therapist gently presses on acupressure points on your body. A typical acupressure session lasts for an hour.
