Body Massage/Acupressure Treatment
Applying pressure on key points along meridian pathways removes energy blockages throughout the body by diffusing the toxic build-up that accumulates in the muscle tissue. Your body will feel more balanced and pain-free.
Similar in principle to acupuncture, but with absolutely no needles involved, Acupressure is a method to activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms to treat illness and alleviate pain.
Using a gentle yet deep pressure on specific acupoints, the practitioner can relieve stress-related and trauma-related problems. There are many pressure points on the body that, when activated, bring about deep relaxation, balance the body’s energy, and stimulate many areas for improvement on many levels.
What Are Pressure Points? What Is Acupressure?
Roots In Traditional Chinese Medicine
With clear roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupressure is a modality in which pressure is applied to points on the body aligned along 12 main meridians (pathways) (see chart below), usually for a short time, to improve the flow of energy, or Qi.
The practitioner uses massage techniques (with fingers, palms, and elbows) to press acu-points on the surface of the body to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. The pressure on key points along meridians removes energy blockages throughout the body by diffusing the toxic build-up that accumulates in the muscle tissue.
Benefits of Acupressure
Heal Faster
When stimulated, acupressure points will relieve tense muscles, encourage blood circulation, and prompt your body to release energy for healing. If you are currently fighting an illness, acupressure can help speed recovery.
Relieve or Reduce Pain
Applying pressure to the correct area that corresponds with the part of your body experiencing pain will clear any blockage that is causing it. This is highly effective if you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines. The applied pressure is also helpful because it causes an increase in blood circulation, which aids with pain relief.
Relax Your Body & Brain
One of the great benefits of acupressure besides making you feel better, is that it will help calm your brain. Stress and other emotional hardship can tense your body up; when that congestion is cleared, your body will more easily adapt to stressful situations. You will also feel less tense, and your mind will feel calmer and stress-free.
Reduce Need for Pain Medication
Neither over the counter or prescription pain medicine is good to take all the time. Your body can become dependent on them. With acupressure, any pain you experience will be pushed out. This decreases the pain you feel and the overall amount of pain medicine you will need to take.
Reduce Wrinkles
Acupressure increases your blood circulation and muscle tone for your face as well as the rest of your body. This will decrease the appearance of wrinkles on your face, making your skin appear more youthful.
Tension Relief Head & Neck Massage
Do You Suffer From Chronic Restlessness, Jaw Pain, And Headache?
Head Massage in our Nanaimo location provides pain relief to all areas of your head as well as your face.
Sleep Better
Every day, the challenges and the stress you face may cause your mind to be too active to sleep, or to wake up restless. Applying traditional Chinese massage techniques such as applying pressure points behind eyes, scalps, and few strategic acupoints behind ears can help promote free flow of energy, restoring balance to your mental and physiological condition.
In short, you will fall asleep easier, and wake up more energetic.
Chronic Headaches
Common sources of headaches include stress, poor posture and lack of sleep, but headaches can also signal serious health conditions, such as high blood pressure. Taking pain medicine such as Ibuprofen and acetaminophen may provide temporary relief, but it does not improve your headaches overtime.
What are different kinds of headaches?
One side or both sides of the head.
High tension headache at the back of the skull or at the neck.
Sinus headache focusing on areas between your eyebrows, forehead, and around your cheek bones.
Cluster headache where pain comes from behind your eyes
Head massage therapy can reduce the intensity and frequency of many chronic headache sufferers by applying a gentle, relaxing touch varying from light to deep pressure, using fingers, hands, and knuckles.
Softening pressure points behind your eyes, behind your ears, back of the skull, and at the neck. Your blood flows more freely, helping reduce the risk of blood clogs. This also increases the oxygen supply to the brain, thereby reducing the chances of strokes.
Improved Concentration
Having a throbbing headache, headache behind ears, or feeling pressure behind eyes constantly can affect your mood and cloud your judgment.
If you have been under a huge amount of pressure from work or from your personal life, the chances are you will feel less productive and less motivated. You may even experience being extra cranky or more irritable.
Treat yourself to soft tissue head therapy to help clear your mind.
The oxygen supply increases with improved blood flow from a massage covering the head, neck, and shoulder. You are guaranteed to feel regenerated with improved concentration and alertness to tackle your daily challenges.
