Conceptually similar to acupuncture, acupressure is a gentle, non-invasive, safe form of bodywork that uses the practitioner\'s fingertips to apply pressure at various points on the body in order to access and release blocked or congested energy. This stimulation releases muscle tension and diffuses toxic buildup, facilitates blood and energy circulation, and promotes natural healing.
Through the use of acupressure, Heather has successfully treated a wide range of conditions including acute and chronic pain, digestive disorders, behavioral issues, and even allergies. When used in conjunction with massage, acupressure is also effective in relieving stress, reducing muscle spasms, improving mobility, strengthening the immune system, enhancing circulation and promoting general wellness.
