Acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that is used to treat all kinds of maladies. Acupressure is much like acupuncture but instead of placing needles into pressure points, an acupressure practitioner massages and puts pressure on a person's pressure points. Some acupressure practitioners also do acupuncture while others just do acupressure. Acupressure is based upon the meridian system. Acupressure is said provide relief from maladies by increasing the balance and circulation of fluids and energies within the body. Acupressure is sometimes used to treat things like migraine headaches, arthritis, digestive problems, motion sickness and back pain. Some acupressure practitioners also teach martial arts that center around striking pressure points.
