In acupressure massage, which is also called `` needleless acupuncture '', in fact, it is based on traditional acupuncture .

How does acupressure work?
Acupressure is a non-invasive alternative therapy that corresponds to energy naturopathy techniques and uses manual techniques to promote the proper flow of energy and the body's natural healing.
The massages are performed on the person standing, sitting or lying down, the latter being the most used form in the belief that it is the most appropriate to access all areas of the body affected by an energy blockage.
The professional who performs the massage detects these blockages and applies a fair pressure in the area in order to help the muscle recover, promoting the release of toxins and restoring its tonicity and functionality.
The massages are applied in different points of the body, in the palm of the hand, in the sole of the foot and in the auricular pavilion, stimulating the nerves that are connected to different areas of the organism, such as the organs and glands.
There are mainly two types of points, the focal points (where the pain is located) and the trigger points (related to the disorders). By massaging these points are pressed, providing pain relief, in some cases, instantaneous.
For more serious health problems, a treatment consisting of regular massages that gradually improve the patient's conditions is required .
An acupressure session is short and can last about 15 minutes . Next, the person is asked to drink plenty of water to help eliminate toxins.
