Acupressure

Acupressure

Acupressure is one of the most ancient methods of treatment. It arose in the East, on the territory of modern China, Korea, Mongolia and Japan after ancient healers drew attention to the fact that there are special “vital” points on the human body associated with internal organs and systems. By influencing these points, it was possible not only to improve the general condition of the patient, but also to restore impaired organ functions.

The following principles are basic for acupressure massage:

1. An integrated approach to the treatment of each disease.

2. Slowness and thoroughness of all treatment methods.

3. Treatment of each patient should be purely individual.

Studying the work of Eastern specialists in acupressure, modern researchers have come to the conclusion that “biologically active points” (BAP) have a number of specific features: low electrocutaneous resistance; high electrical potential; high skin temperature; high pain sensitivity; increased oxygen absorption; high level of metabolic processes.

You can determine the location of a particular point by simply pressing your fingertips on the surface of the skin. When a point is hit, a person experiences a feeling of aching, numbness, and even pain.

One of the advantages of acupressure is that the technique for performing it is quite simple; it does not require additional equipment or expensive devices. In addition, the area of ​​influence during acupressure is very small.

Acupressure can be used before special medical care is provided, as well as in combination with other treatment methods.
