Acupressure

Welcome to our acupressure category, where we delve into the ancient practice of acupressure and tui na (Chinese medical Massage).
Discover the fundamentals of acupressure, including acupressure points and meridians and how they affect the qi flow. I discuss acupressure and tui na techniques as well as protocols for reducing pain, anxiety, improving sleep, and supporting overall vitality. This can be used both by the professionals as well as for self care.
I hope this information empowers you to explore the potential of acupressure and tui na as part of your own health improvement journey.
