4. THE ACUPRESSURE

Accupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine technique based on the same principles as acupuncture. It involves placing physical pressure by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices on different acupuncture points or accupoints on the surface of the body.

There are several hundred accupoints or "Tsubos", the focus of acupuncture, distributed along the meridians connecting points across the body which affect a specific organ, gland, or the nervous system. In order to relieve as much tension as possible, the therapist will concnetrate on the "tsubos" located on your back and shoulders.
