Acupressure and Reflexology

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities are practices that can be used to help manage health conditions and promote good health.

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves applying gentle pressure to specific points, known as acupoints, along energy pathways called meridians. By stimulating these points, acupressure aims to balance the body’s vital energy, or qi, promoting overall well-being.

Reflexology is a complementary therapy focusing on the feet, hands, and ears. Based on the principle that these areas correspond to different parts of the body, reflexologists apply pressure to specific points to encourage relaxation and healing. Similar to acupressure, reflexology is believed to influence the body’s energy flow and restore balance.
