What is Acupressure Massage?

Acupressure massage is a therapy developed over 5,000 years ago as an important aspect of Asian, especially Chinese, medicine. It uses precise finger placement and pressure over specific points along the body. These points follow specific channels, known as meridians – the same channels used in acupuncture. According to Asian medical philosophy, activation of these points with pressure can improve blood flow, release tension, and enhance or unblock life-energy, know in China as ‘chi’. This release allows energy to flow more freely throughout the meridians, promoting relaxation, healing and the restoration of proper function.

Acupressure Massage for the Eyes

Acupressure has been shown to be effective in treating both eye disease and poor vision. It has been successful in treating Myopia (Far-sightedness), Presbyopia (long-sightedness), cataracts, glaucoma, astigmatism, amblyopia (lazy eye), colour blindness, night blindness and many other eye problems. Gentle massage to specific points surrounding the eyes, and other remote points on the body, releases tension and soothes the eyes. Increased blood flow brings an increase of fresh nutrients to the eyes.
