Perhaps unsurprisingly, acupressure is very similar to acupuncture and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for years. Acupressure stems from the idea that certain points on the surface of the body are connected to the inner organs. Energy or ‘Qu’ apparently flows through 12 different channels (or ‘meridians’) in the body and if the flow is interrupted then the body experiences ill health.
Using tiny needles or other instruments to manipulate ‘trigger points’ helps to restore the flow of energy through the body.
This stimulation of the skin and muscle nerves releases the body’s natural painkillers – endorphins and serotonin – into the pain pathways of the spinal cord and the brain. This helps the body to modify the way pain signals are received.
