Acupressure is a technique originally developed and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. The therapist utilizes their palms, elbows or fingers to apply pressure to specific points on the body. Traditionally, pain relief and improved function is believed to come about by loosening blockages to the flow of energy (chi) along specific pathways (meridians) within the body. While the exact mechanism is still not fully understood, decades of research have validated its effectiveness.

At Inner Circle, we combine acupressure within the framework of Myofascial Release, having found that most tender points within the fascial system correspond to traditional acupoints. An added benefit to this technique is its ease of use within a prescribed self-care regime. After proper instruction, these techniques are safe enough for patients to use at home and will assist you in reaching your goals.
