Acupressure / Shiatsu

This exceptionally well-illustrated guide to the location and properties of acupoints has been fully revised and updated, and now includes all the major points. An understanding of acupoints is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for bodyworkers.

Acupressure uses the same pressure points of acupuncture but instead of needles, you simply use your fingers to gently but firmly stimulate your body's natural ability to heal.

Imagine if you could think about a problem that you have been struggling with, tap with your fingers at key locations on your face, torso, and hands, and then experience the problem suddenly vanish, all within a matter of a few minutes.
