Acupressure

Healing pressure, no needles. The same principles as acupuncture, applied with the hands instead of needles — a good option if you'd rather skip the needling altogether.

What it is

What is Acupressure?

Acupressure uses firm, targeted pressure from the thumbs, fingers or elbow at the same points acupuncture would needle. Your practitioner works along the body's energy channels to release blockages that show up as pain, tension or fatigue.

It's fully clothed, needle-free, and often recommended as a short course rather than a single visit.

You stay fully clothed while your practitioner applies steady pressure — circular, pushing or holding — to specific points, adjusting depth to what your body can comfortably take.

Most people find it relaxing rather than uncomfortable. We usually recommend at least three sessions to see the full effect.

Good to know

Is Acupressure Safe?

Is acupressure right for everyone?
It's gentle, but we don't recommend it if you're pregnant, have high blood pressure, or have open wounds, bruising or infection near the treatment area — let your practitioner know before you start.
How is this different from acupuncture?
Same underlying principle, different tool — pressure from the hands instead of needles. Some people prefer it, especially if they're needle-shy.
