Acupressure Therapy
Tomii Acupoint Massage, or acupressure, uses the same meridians and acupoints as acupuncture but rather than inserting needles into the skin, the acupoints are stimulated with hand and finger pressure, kneading, and rubbing. The effect is similar to acupuncture but with two main advantages:
- Many people are fearful or squeamish about needles.
- Acupoint Massage has the profoundly pleasurable and relaxing qualities of massage.
Acupoint Massage therapy increases blood circulation, relieves stress and tension, relaxes the mind and body, eases muscle aches and pains, helps the body release toxins, and increases energy levels just like ordinary massage. But Acupoint Massage therapists are trained in meridian mechanics and use acupoints to create and manipulate qi throughout the body as would any practitioner of TCM.
