There are energy pathways run in regular pattern through the body and over its surface. These are called channels or meridians. These are meant to nourish the tissues, blood flow and nervous plexus. They also run through the body to various parts, structures, and organs. Any obstructions created in these meridians restrict the flow of energy, blood and create diseases. Acupressure treatment can help to remove the obstructions and re-establish the regular flow of energy through the meridians for the proper functioning of various organs and parts of the body. By proper applications of pressure in acu-points, it stimulates the nervous system to remove the blockages. It also helps in the release of chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.

Energy flow in the meridian is the direct or indirect transportation of bio-electrons. Meridians are path ways where bio-electrons move more frequently than in other parts of the body. If positive and negative charges in the bio

electronic movement are not balanced, the cells in the body would act abnormally and this is known as Yin and Yang imbalance which create diseases. By applying pressure in acu points, this Yin and Yang imbalance is corrected.

Energy tends to stagnates in specific points along the channels called acu-points. When the energy is blocked in an acu-point, it becomes sensitive to pressure and when pressure is applied, it stimulates the movement of energy. Acupressure creates relaxation, well being and vitality, and it is considered to be an easy way to heal, prevent diseases and maintain one’s health. Acupressure removes tension, stiffness and muscular pain, relieves fatigue and other illnesses. It greatly strengthens the internal organs and brings vitality.
