Applying the same principles as acupuncture, acupressure promotes pain relief, relaxation, and treatment for various ailments. However, unlike acupuncture, it does not use needles during treatment. It is often described as “acupuncture without needles.” Instead of using needles, we apply deep finger pressure targeted at specific points in the meridian.
There are literally hundreds of acupuncture points in the body.
