The science of Acupressure is over 2000 years old. Being an alternative form of therapy, it shares the same principles as acupuncture which is based on the concept that the life energy of a body flows through meridians or pressure points which are often blocked. Blockages lead to bad health in corresponding areas of the body and clearing the blockages through applied pressure resumes good health again.
