Using Acupressure to:
What is acupressure?
Acupressure is the stimulation of acupuncture points to treat pain and illness via the theories of Chinese
medicine. It is less invasive than the insertion of needles but is used just as effectively. Acupuncture and
acupressure are documented as being viable treatments for pain, injury, and a variety of illnesses.
Licensed practitioners for thousands of years have used this modality of medicine to look and treat the
body in a more holistic way.
What is trigger point therapy?
A trigger point is a hyperirritable spot or holding spot in the muscle that when palpated triggers a painful
reaction. It affects not only the muscle where the trigger point is located, but also causes "referred pain"
in tissues supplied by nerves. These points are located in a tight bands of muscles fibers and are very
tender. Finger pressure and specific tools are used to deactivate the trigger points. Since the body has
learned to hold these areas, usually more that one treatment is needed to release them.
What are myofascial restrictions?
Fascia is the fibrous body or connective tissue that holds the body together. It is a mesh or web that
infiltrates every part of the living body and acts as a glue to hold it all together. Without it the body would
a puddle of gooey mess and bones on the floor. If one could remove all of the other components in the
body and just leave the fascia you would still have the shape and look of the body. Damage to this
system causes distortions in the system and therefore compensations and pain. Sometimes these
symptoms are not near the located site of distortion. Releasing these restrictions not only bring the body
back into balance and allows the body to use itself more properly and efficiently but also relieves pain.
