Acupressure, a specialty
in my San Rafael practice
Acupressure is effective for chronic pain and anxiety
A gentle, safe method of relieving pain and anxiety, acupressure is an important part of every one of my massage sessions. You may be surprised that this subtle style of bodywork is one of the most effective in resolving
chronic, deep-seated pain. Clients often ask for it on return visits.
Those who struggle with
anxiety also seem to particularly enjoy acupressure and find it so simple they can reap the benefits by practicing what I show them at home.
While receiving acupressure, clients often fall into a dream-like state or outright fall asleep during this portion of the session, giving their body the chance to unwind without all the mental chatter.
Because acupressure works in the same way as
acupuncture, I can produce the same results by using light finger pressure rather than needles.
Like acupuncture, acupressure is very helpful in balancing a man or a woman's hormonal system and can be
used to help increase
fertility or alleviate
menstrual cramps.
