Seated accupressure massage is a sequence developed from traditional oriental anma and shiatsu style massage techniques to improve health, energy flw and reduce tension. It is received through the clothes, without oils on an ergonomically designed chair.
Accupressure points are located throughout the body on meridian lines and are stimulated using finger and elbow pressure with the addition of kneading, percussion mobilisation and stretching. This will balance the flow of energy and stimulate the muscular, nervous, lymphatic, immune and circulatory systems, leaving the client relaxed yet energised.
Seated Acupressure Therapy is perfectly adapted for use in any workplace and in clinics. With the growing demand from employers for practical stress management, the increased earning potential for this therapy is considerable.
It is extremely helpful for the following conditions:
- Backache
- Skin conditions
- Muscular tension
- Repetitive strain injury
- Asthma
- Sciatic pain
- Headaches
This practical handbook, fully illustrated with photographs and line drawings, guides the reader through the history of this therapy, the contraindications, physical and psychological benefits, a step-by-step guide to the 20-minute sequence and finally how practitioners can market themselves successfully to companies.
