Acupressure Therapy Edmonton
The acupressure technique involves locating and manipulating acupuncture points on the body to release or reinforce blocked Qi (pronounced “chee” – meaning energy) along an acupuncture meridian. The technique involves a static circular motion of varying intensity at the acupuncture site.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What Will it Feel Like?
Pressure applied to different points on the body. May notice the physiotherapist applying the pressure in a circular motion.
Will It Hurt?
Some points may be a little uncomfortable but the pressure can be adjusted to reduce any discomfort.
How Does It Work?
Acupressure works much the same as acupuncture (except without putting needles in you) in that the essential qi is unblocked to allow it to flow along the acupuncture meredians.
Where on the Body will the work be done?
That will depend on the problem and which points need to be stimulated. Points are found all over the body.
How many treatments will I need?
This will vary depending on the need for treatment.
How long of a session should I book?
While session length can vary 30 – 60 minutes is usual.
