Abstract

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese procedure that uses pressure from the fingertips, knuckles, or a blunt-tipped instrument called a tei shin to stimulate points on the body. The Japanese version is known as shiatsu. This rhythmic, moderately deep form of massage is used to treat muscular pain, migraines, insomnia, backaches, and gastrointestinal and gynecological problems. The patient can perform the procedure and is beneficial for relieving chronic pain and increasing the range of motion by loosening tight muscles. Practitioners claim that acupressure can alleviate fatigue because it opens blocked energy pathways.
