ACUPRESSURE MONTREAL

The Body-Mind Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing modality based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the meridians and its acupuncture points.

Acupressure: Acupressure is the application of pressure with the tip of the fingers on certain strategic meridian acupuncture points of the body.

Effects of Acupressure:  Acupressure relieves pain, facilitates healing and restores body balance and harmony.

Differences Between Acupressure and Acupuncture:  The primary difference between acupressure and acupuncture is that acupuncture punctures the skin with very thin, long needles while acupressure doesn't break the skin.

Commonalities Between Acupressure and Acupuncture:  Acupressure and acupuncture have much in common since they are both based on touching meridians that carry energy, or chi, throughout the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine ailments are caused by blockages of chi somewhere along fourteen meridians, so both acupressure and acupuncture encourage energy to flow freely once again. Both acupressure and acupuncture are used to treat allergies, arthritis, depression, nausea, migraine headaches, menstrual cramps, and anxiety, according to the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine.
