We will have the opportunity to talk about your treatment and we will discuss your lifestyle, diet and general health.  I will want to know about any injuries and aches and pains.

I will ask you to lie down on a comfortable futon mattress and take some deep, slow, relaxing breaths.

Before and during your treatment, I consider the symptoms you are experiencing, and use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow and get right to the cause of the issue. 

Techniques may include gentle holding, pressing with palms, thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees and feet on the meridians, and  more dynamic rotations and gentle stretching.

There are many accupressure points on the body, associated with the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, lymph vessels, bones and endocrine glands. Depending on your symptoms, I apply appropriate levels of pressure with the aim of addressing the cause of your symtoms. 

Its similar to accupuncture- but without needles!

You will always feel relaxed with even the deeper pressure being firm and steady.  In acupressure, as with most Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts, local symptoms are considered an expression of the whole body's condition.
