Acupuncture points massage

 

Acupuncture points massage, regardless of the method used is based on the vision and basic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its action is primarily prophylactic.

The technique involves applying pressure on or smoothing certain acupuncture points with fingers (usually with the thumbs), elbows, and forearms. This practice is used mainly in Japanese massage "Amma" and in Chinese massage "Tui Na".

This technique is also used with tuning forks. For more information, go to "Healing".
