In acupressure, local symptoms are considered an expression of the
condition of the body as a whole. A tension headache, for instance, may be
rooted in the shoulder and neck area. Thus acupressure focuses on
relieving pain and discomfort as well as on responding to tension before
it develops into a "dis-ease" that is, before the constrictions
and imbalances can do further damage. By using a combination of self-help
methods such as trigger point stimulation, deep breathing, range-of-motion
exercises, and relaxation techniques, you can improve your condition as
well as feel more alive, healthy, and in harmony with your life.
