Acupressure is an ancient Chinese treatment that was derived from acupuncture.  The practitioner uses their fingers and thumbs to apply pressure along the body's energy pathways, called meridians, in order to direct the flow of Chi , which is the life force energy of the body.  Acupressure is used to balance this energy which can alleviate pain and tension within the body.
