Acupressure Dublin County

Acupressure is useful in alleviating many of the physical symptoms of mild depression including its associated sluggishness. Acupressure is performed by applying steady, firm pressure on specific points along the body. When stimulated, these spots, which are identical to acupuncture points, correspond to and affect other parts of the body. According to Chinese medicine, depression can occur when you repress certain emotions such as anger or guilt. Using anti-depression acupressure points can help to release this blocked energy. Once it is free to rise to the surface, you can examine these feelings and try to gain a greater understanding of them.

Acupressureis a therapy that uses precise finger placement and pressure over specificpoints along the body. These points follow specific channels, known as meridians- the same channels used in acupuncture. According to Asian medical philosophy,activation of these points with pressure (or needles) can improve blood flow,release tension, and enhance or unblock life-energy, known in China as"qi" or in the English-speaking world as "chi." Thisrelease allows energy to flow more freely through the meridians, promotingrelaxation, healing and the restoration of proper function. Acupressuretherapy can be used to relieve pain, reduce tension in muscles, improvecirculation and promote deep states of relaxation. It is often done by massagetherapists and other bodyworkers, but can also be learned as a technique to bedone oneself. Individuals can be treated, then trained in various self-careapplications and pressure-point formulas for specific conditions. These includenausea and vomiting, motion sickness, headaches, neck and back pain, as well aschronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, mental and emotional stress, even addictionrecovery and learning disorders.

Tui Na practitioners use diverse massage techniques that soften hard muscles that may have developed from injury, bad posture or neglect. The massage encourages a better blood and oxygen supply in the energy channels facilitating the healing process. Tui Na is used to treat particular problems. Styles of Tui Na differ, some are gentle and subtle while other are deep and vigorous.

Acupressure [from Latin acus "needle" + pressure] is an alternative medicine technique similar in principle to Acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through "meridians" in the body.  I n treatment, physical pressure is applied to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices. Acupoints used in treatment may or may not be in the same area of the body as the targeted symptom. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory for the selection of such points and their effectiveness is that they work by stimulating the meridian system to bring about relief by rebalancing Yin, Yang Blood and Qi (also spelled "chi"). This theory is based on the paradigm of TCM Many East Asian Martial Arts also make extensive study and use of acupressure for self-defense and health purposes (Tui Na). Martial artists regularly massage their own acupressure points in routines to remove blockages from their own meridians, claiming to thereby enhance their circulation and flexibility and keeping the points "soft" or less vulnerable to an attack.
