Acupressure is an upcoming modality that harbours various benefits in the animals that receive it. With acupressure, it mimics the treatment of Acupuncture - which is a widely popular treatment used alongside western medicine to aid in animal well-being and have amazing healing affects.
Acupressure uses pressure at specific acupoints along meridian channels that are identified in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By stimulating these points, energy and blood flow can be restored which can have an affect on the entire body. Not only does acupressure unblock Chi restrictions but can also relieve pain as the pressure stimulation causes the body to release opioids.
Acupressure is based off the traditional Chinese medicine beliefs that everything in the body is intertwined and connected and that when one thing is unbalanced or broken, it carries over to the entire body.
Benefits in any animal include:
Build up the immune system
Enhance mental alertness
Enhance a state of calm
Strengthen muscles, joints, tendons and bones
Release cortisol and opioids in the body to reduce pain and inflammation
Balances energies
Removes toxins and increases blood circulation
Acupressure can be used for general well-being, for health ailments, and also in times of emergencies. It is becoming more widely popular in holistic healing as it is safe and non-invasive, and can learned by anyone.
The comprehensive Acupressure course for animals covers the basics of Traditional Chinese medicine concepts, various protocols and specific points used in assessing and healing, how to properly and effectively perform an acupressure treatment, how to create your own protocol and even includes bonus material on using other holistic therapies to enhance your session such as essential oils, moxibustion, kinesiology and red light laser therapy.
