Acupressure therapy has evolved from dianxue, which is a
traditional Chinese martial art technique of hitting an opponent at a
selected acupoint on the body, so as to momentarily block the flow of
blood and energy and cause unconsciousness. Based on the same
theory, an acupressure therapist skillfully presses the same acupoint to
promote the flow of blood and energy and heal an injury.
The therapy is administered by percussing, pressing andYor
massaging selected acupoints and stimulation-lines of the body. It is
effective for treating common illnesses and complicated diseases such
as cerebral palsy and polio.
In clinical application, the therapy requires no dmgs or instmments.
It is safe, easy to leam, and can be practiced almost anywhere.
