Acupressure in Gaithersburg, MD

Acupressure combines acupuncture therapy and massage therapy. The therapists use gentle but firm pressure of hands to press acupuncture points (potent points) along certain pathways (meridians) to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When acupuncture points are pressed, they release muscular tension, promote blood circulation, increase energy flow and the body’s life force to aid healing. The therapists also apply other techniques such as Swedish and deep-tissue massage and reflexology to further relax the muscles. The combination of all these therapies enables Acupressure and Meridian bodywork more effective for stress reduction and promote more overall healing and wellness.
